nursing home asking for help- is this normal?
We recently moved my 75 year old father into memory care (he has Wernicke-Korsakoff). It was a very difficult decision but he was starting to get lost, wander from home at night, etc.
He's been at the home for barely two weeks and my family has been called twice by the administrator saying someone had to come stay with my dad because they lack the staff. Both times they have asked for this after some pretty severe behavioral incidents with my dad (aggression and physical violence towards staff and other residents). Is this normal? It's a corporate chain facility, not cheap at all, and the whole reason we brought him here is because no one in my family can afford to orient our lives around his care needs (which are considerable as his brain degrades). Any tips??
