[QUOTE="DDD, post: 550756, member: 35"] I follow your posts very closely and with great compassion. My experience is quite limited with the exception of on nursing home in our community where my next door neighbor lived for two years prior to her passing. I visited her twice a week during that time as she had no family. She was of sound mind and a fiesty woman. She made notes of any and every time she was not treated completely appropriately and then called the Director herself. But, of course, she was the exception to the rule because of sustained mental health. Alas, truth be told, most residents are not able to consistently advocate for their own needs. In fact I found it was very stressful when I was hospitalized recently because the level of care was, in my humble opinion, not what it was twenty years ago plus when I was last inpatient. Somehow it shocked me. It also made me think of P. Sigh. I have asked my daughter to hire someone to visit me daily if/when I end up in assisted living. Whether it is a college student or a young Mom wanting a few extra bucks it doesn't matter. I just want someone there for me every day. DDD [/QUOTE]
