 Alzheimer’s disease is such a painful disease for everyone - the patient, the family, and the care-givers. You need to understand that we have a responsibility to protect your husband. We restrain him to keep him from falling or wandering away. |
An
interdisciplinary team at a nursing home is meeting with the wife
of Mr. Jordan, an 87-year-old Alzheimer’s patient. Mrs. Jordan
is concerned that he is not being treated respectfully or with the
appropriate care and concern.
