I went to with my friend to visit his father in the nursing home today. All the residents on that floor have dementia.
Unfortunately a lot of the residents were kicking off at the same time and all of the carers were engaged with other people.
We then saw this elderly lady walking around with her underware down to her ankles so in the interest of safety we led her to a seat in her room, my friend put a duvet over her and stayed with her and after a bit of time a female carer came and dealt with the situation.
In the meantime a visitor who was nothing to do with this lady came in and was most upset 2 males were looking after this lady.
I do agree it was not ideal but were we suposed to let this lady carry on walking and possibly fall and injure herself.
