J'ACCUSE!

Are you sure you're not the one with dementia? I saw you kick her just yesterday.

They always have to take it seriously. And it's a full on investigation - with witness statements, skin checks, and maybe being sent home while the investigation takes place. Last time they visited us they investigated a dementia patient that had her 'purse' stolen. A purse she hadn't had in some 7 years... And then there is the impatient lady who insists on getting her blood sugar checked at the desk daily - because she has to get to breakfast on time (and the doors aren't even open yet - but don't dare argue!) (You are supposed to do it in private.) She told the investigators "I don't know why they 'make' me do it here." I could go on and on... They don't live in the real world and are often not very nice. I sympathize!

You're in the clear.

My grandma had dementia. They do really strange things sometimes .

Man thats gotta suck! For embarrassing moment I think you win but all in all it will turn out all right! Old ppl are weird lol

Looks like state dept will investigate you for pt abuse. Your supervisor or director should not assign you from her anymore or the facility will be in trouble. But still they have to investigate you for abuse.

You probably do hurt her but you also have dementia and can't remember.

I worked in a care home with dementia, unknown the feeling. Lol

That's a HIPPA violation talking about your residents anywhere.

Can I have a go? We just have to be more subtle, maybe start on psychological warfare. We could swap her Jello for coloured plastic and then tell her the batteries in her spoon have died when she can't eat it. Or maybe run a Bingo game where we call out all her numbers, but then accuse her of cheating and give her prize to the old guy who wasn't even at the game, but was instead out in the hallway masturbating.

My grandpa had that disease and did the same thing....

Aww I feel bad for both of you :( life is rough.
