If your loved one has Alzheimer and no other problems this is not the place for them. There idea of taking care of them is making sure they are drugged up to the point they cannot function for themselves any longer. My mother went into the home able to walk, dress herself with direction and feed herself. By the time the first month was over she was in diapers, wheelchair and could not feed herself. I stepped in and asked for less medication, and they did that. Then a couple of weeks later sent my father a notice that he has 30 days to find another home for her or they will find one. As if it was not hard enought for him to put her into a home, now he has to deal with this. I feel if you cannot handle a 76 yr old Alzheimer patient weighing 100lbs you should not be able to call yourself a alzheimer unit. At a meeting with the almighty social worker and some staff members they brought up the fact that she was sometimes combative or hugging people. I said that was normal Alzheimer characteristic and they denied it. Look on the website for alzheimer and see what they say! I will say that most of the hands on care givers were great with her, with a very few exceptions.
