If you know a dementia person in a nursing home you would not want them to be there since so many facilities are short handed and the person will not get the care they need. I speak from experience dealing with a Parkinson patient. One week in a nursing home and I brought him back home. Minimal care where he was placed..
Nice addition to the thread.
