- Thousands of Canadians, labelled "Bed Blockers" are being warehoused in hospitals, waiting for long term care and taking up beds desperately needed by others. A 16x9 investigation into this hospital heartbreak uncovers hospitals charging families thousands of dollars and elderly patients suffering.
This is dimentia, there is nothing you can do. I live with my mom and she cries and screams all day and all night. I get no sleep. There is nothing you can do but sedate them. I am going through this right now. Ive tried everything.
Thats not drugged. Thats a lack of drug use for mood behaviors. Then you wouldnt need physical restriants.
There’s no easy way to cope with the terrors of dementia-it’s painful for all involved to watch the disintegration that nothing may be able to stop.
Tragic
I live behind eldery home.. yesterday old lady screaming.. I pop my head over. She had two workers with her.. they were a bit rough with her in the wheelchair. I told them off.. they said she's got dementia.. she screaming to me their are bad men and call the police.. I called the police for her...
Now I'm really wondering about dementia.. is it normal for dementia patients be screaming all the time?
Why children are not charged with neglect
Why are elderly not staying with their children if they have one
If not then siblings
How can you stay on that room trying to pacify that guy shouting...
This just happened to my grandmother on the 11 of Oct I'm so sorry
from the US hospitals are NOT long term care. We have 2 nursing assistants for 24 patients. Its terrible but its true
Is that during noc shift? I know day time shift its 7 to 8 patients per c.n.a
He should have been allowed a respectable death with loss of mental faculties. Until we can effectively treat or prevent dementia, we should allow voluntary death. Otherwise we put the patient, their family and caregivers hell. Sorry the family had to experience this.
SADLY this happens everywhere.Usually families just drop family off and have no clue as to whats going on.DO NOT THINK LONG TERM IS ANY BETTER BECAUSE ITS NOT
1300 a month
That’s so cheap
Britain has the same problem with bed blockers, although NHS is very good with the resource it has, but still pressures on the ward, low staffing happens regular, staff pushed to limits,
Yeah, my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2019, he's been getting a lot worse and eventually he fell down the stairs in April. They were originally gonna get him discharged on Monday which was 2 days after his fall but he ended up remaining in hospital for 2 months while they tried finding a care home for him. Eventually they did but it ended up taking ages to get to it
The worst part about this for me is that someone had to make that baby cry in order to film it. And that's not a fake cry...that's for real. How horrible and sad. I can't even finish watching it.
Barbara Stahlecker I thought the exact same thing. It may have only been a few seconds to film it but it was a fearful lifetime for this poor baby! Not necessary.
Horrible indeed...very upsetting 😡
Canada are you watching ! Americans are you watching ! What are we to do for change ?

He didn't belong in a hospital a nursing home is the best
Try looking after them at home. It's hell. I know someone who got divorced and drunk themselves to death via a heart attack due to caring for a once abusive mother.
7:40 Her tears were happy tears.
Oh that poor man! That is definately elder neglect. My dad died of dementia, but luckily we kept him at home, he was hospitalized shortly and then transferred to hospice where he passed away. The hospital was no place for him, he was just taking up a bed..That is so sad. I don't know if Canada has hospice, but if he had a life limiting illness, which he had, he may have been eligible for a hospice facility.
NURSES SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO WEAR THE STAR OF LIFE THAT IS THE SYMBOL OF A FIRST AID MASTER AND RED CROSS MASTERS
You think it's bad in Canada, you should be in US.
This was guy in the room next to mine last night... not really this guy in the video, but sounded just like him
The is funny the baby is crying this not like to be in the hospital like a shot on the legs are on the arm getting a iv
