These were also my thoughts, what about those who have no LOs to advocate

for them and are in places that aren't as attentive as others?

Oh Janet! How annoying! You are a perfect example of why the

caregiving does not end when our LOs enter NHs. Sometimes it seems

that you work even harder to fix the problems that could have been

avoided by the paid caregivers. It takes a village! Doesn't it? Thank

God you take the time to get answers on your own, instead of

depending on just what the CNAs say. It can be so easy to just listen

to what we're told and call it a day - yet, you don't do that - you

seek the answers for yourself. May all of those active caregivers on

this board with LOs in NHs & ALFs learn from you! You must be

vigilant, have an eagle eye, and be a constant presence for your LO

in a facility. Imagine all those poor souls who have no LOs available

to keep watch for them. What can they be going through?!

Bravo! Jan, will write that book, I just know she will! Thank you, ,

for your reminder, and fine suggestion. When she feels lost without Jim, she

will write that book with all her heart. You go girl!

Love so much,

Imogene

write a book one day - you've taught so many of us of what to look

for - imagine how many people you will help should you have a book on

caregiving... Take care Janet! As always, Jim is so lucky to have

you.
