Thanks, Marilee, I am aware of the sensitivity that my mother has and have shared this with my brother and sister. We have care meetings every three months and have addressed the issue. The staff still has it in their heads that mom has to have a tub bath or shower even though it agitates her greatly and they have to give her aderol afterwards. It has to do with some crazy rule that they have about getting baths twice a week. I feel that sponge baths fit the bill!! The next time I go, I'm checking to see what they have done. If mom continues to hit other patients they will require her to leave the unit. Sometimes I wonder if they don't just agitate her so they can.
