[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 252635"] Both my parents were in a nursing home. My dad not long, but my mom was there probably 6 or 7 years. For both (different homes) No phone. Never saw one in any room. You could bring your own TV but there is only one spot to put it so it would be in view of both. They could use the phone at the desk anytime. Or we could call and they would get her. But, in her case she couldn't talk. the most disturbing I found was when she first entered the nursing home. She could walk with a walker, and speak a little, and use the bathroom with assistance. They put a diaper on her and would just leave her. She would ask to go to the bathroom and they would tell us they didn't have time, that she had a diaper on. No bra - ever. She wanted one. She would flash us to show us. My sister who lives in town would ask them to put one on her. As time went on and she couldn't speak at all or move, they didn't dress her well. When I would go to town she either wouldn't have her glasses on or she wouldn't have HER glasses on. My mom has ALWAYS worn glasses. She had a Cpap machine for sleep apnea. My sister couldn't find it. They said it was misplaced. Then they said it was broke. For how long? My sister couldn't get there too often. My mom fell out of bed. They didn't put the railings up. So for how long was she on the floor? she can't talk? What I saw, they dress them and park them in the lobby or hall and leave them there. It was just real sad. [/QUOTE]
