Dementia Ward? Lock Everything
-
An assisted living home is facing a fine after a 93-year-old patient drank dishwasher detergent. Seems that the place had been warned to secure things in its dementia unit so that no mistakes like that would be made, but here's the thing: You can secure all you want, but this guy actually drank the stuff not out of an open container, but he went under the sink and detached the detergent reservoir, which was attached by a hose to the dishwasher. He had to go through quite a bit of work to get at that detergent. How do you prevent that? (South Florida Sun-Sentinel)
