A member asked:
When you go to a nursing home and everyone in a chair is in the lobby near the nurses, is that ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not great: If they are there for a short time, ok. If it is all day, they are missing individual and group activities and the lack of such activities can actually cause and not prevent agitated behaviors.
