They just said that they don't have a rule but probably should. Ridiculous. I remember a time when there were no TVs in nursing home rooms. If you wanted to watch TV, you had to go to the TV room. I guess this is supposed to be some kind of improvement, so everybody can watch TV without leaving the room.

Not because they aren't helpful and caring people--they actually do a lot--but because nobody takes something like this really seriously. I think it's considered a relatively minor problem.

One daughter is a nurse, and I'm sure that's a big consideration with her.Lydia McGrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423567323116960820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20704380.post-28520033743983758552009-09-15T03:48:55.971-04:002009-09-15T03:48:55.971-04:00I wouldn't leave my mother in a situation like...I wouldn't leave my mother in a situation like that.
