[NPInfo] Another Alzheimer's question

[David or Diane Dito]

Thanks, Teresa. That was the gist of my question regarding placement. Maybe
you can tell me more when I see you the 17th.
Thanks again,
Diane Dito, NP

Diane,
 
There are some long term facilities that have Alzheimer wings which serve
as 
better environments than traditional long term care settings.  Dale is  the 
medical director of a nursing facility with such a wing.  He says that  it
is a 
locked facility where patients can be physically active in a protected  
environment and can spend time with "like" residents.  His experience  is
that 
people with similar memory/behavioral issues tend to tolerate each other
better, 
as compared to residents without similar issues.  
 
Teresa
