Thanks Celia for sharing your experience. You were fortunate to find a memory care unit with staff who knew how to do this. They are not all like that, I’ve found. Actually if you are in the NYC area, would you mind sharing the name of the facility. I will also look into finding a bath aide. He won’t let his regular aides touch him at all.
I so appreciate your advice.
Happy Holidays.

I’m afraid it wasn’t in the NYC area. It was in NC. I was surprised at the number of residents at the AL and MC that were from the north. Apparently, the costs is much less in rural areas of NC. The place at the time was privately owned and small. They had little staff turnover. It was ideal. They gave us the Downton Abby welcome when we arrived. Director and staff standing at the entrance (outside) with smiles and a wheelchair . They never called me to complain of her behavior. They managed it. She was immediately happier there.

It’s been several years since my cousin died, so I don’t know their status now. I will PM you the name if you request it.
