My mother is in an assisted living complex in the dementia care building. The staff cares for 20 patients, and is responsible for all of their needs. Some of the patients are non-verbal and confined to wheelchairs. Others, like my mother, are capable of caring for themselves in a limited way, but most of their memories are lost. As her condition progresses, my mother has become "grumpy" and sometimes not very cooperative. So, there could possibly be issues with the staff not trying very hard.
