Tried to watch over an elderly relative, who'd had a hemmorhagic stroke, going through first the Neurological ward (multiples #FallsFromBed) then Delerium ward (tied to chair, left wandering when marked "Two person assist") at #SCGH #Perth then #AgedCareFacility (severe mistreatment).

Learnt hospitals, nursing homes and medical clinics environments are;
management/HR,
medico-legal,
industrialised, &,
commercialised,
environments.

Hard lessons.

You need:
Paper, pen, who, what, when.

#AgedCareDecisions

I'm off to inspect a room in an aged care facility possibly for an #ElderlyRelative.

And I get to ask questions.

Please tell me what questions you'd ask.
Even questions you might think of avoiding asking.

I'll be Replying to this toot with some of the #AgedCareQuestions I come up with too.

(This #AgedCareFacility / #NursingHome is in #Australia. The standard of care here is much lower than the USA AIUI.)
