re: Close relative is in hospice...(update page 5)

Dementia is horrible. I have a close loved one in the later stages of it.

I urge all of those who have family members with dementia in nursing homes/memory care to look over their meds and get second opinions when you see unusual changes. Some places are real quick to prescribe antipsychotics like Haldol for “agitation.” In reality they are understaffed and are using meds as chemical restraints.
