Aged care in Australia and Autonomy
Looking at chemical strait-jackets here.
When would physical restraints or a prison environment be better?
Would you ever choose a prison environment over a #ChemicalStraitjacket for yourself?
The visuals/aesthetics of a chemical #Straitjacket are nicer.
Rather have your autonomy respected when it is safe for that to happen?
(And be locked in a cell when it is not.)Got thoughts?

There is an aged care facility in Perth which last decade administered a drug to a resident which stupefied them to the extent that they had multiple falls in a short period after drug administration began.
Why was the drug administered?
The resident had proposition other residents in their locked dementia ward.How did this happen?
The company had a sexual expression policy.
But it had never been implemented.The "penalty"?

Looking for an Android app that will create binaural beats in audio streamed to the device by other apps - audiobooks via Audible, audio via YT etc.
(Search engines return a morass of binaural beat apps but nothing that works on the fly.
I know I can download the streams then use Audicity or similar to change the frequency in one of the channels. I do not want to do this. 😉 )

Somehow I got SmartView working. 😀

Went to the almost greyed-out section of SmartView Permissions. Enabled everything. Then next day found SmartView in the main Menu. Not sure why this worked.)Low vusion Elderly Relative is now enjoying seeing enlarged relatives on TV screen in video calls.
HDMI cable adaptor has also arrived. Untested.

Someone I know is taking the lock from their side gate into the locksmith to get it keyed.
And they'll phone the Australian National Dementia Helpline and ask about the legalities of locking doors & gates to stop an elderly person putting themself in grave danger.They're not feeling good.
I'm thinking that being prevented from going out into the world is a significant change.
It could be put into an Advanced Care Directive.#AgingInPlace #AgedCare #DementiaCare #AdvancedCareDirectives

I'd have thought this was a silly joke.But they're serious.
"Trusted partners" - I'm seeing anyone proposing that they'll release medical and private data to anonymous others as inherently untrustworthy.
A deal killer in my evaluation.
