Re: more transition for me

Sounds like they could use some sensitivity training there! Who ever heard of peeing on schedule? I understand their position, but really....they are there for YOUR convience. Times are changing and often people are in care facilities for a short term and the old treatment approaches dont fit the new profile. Maybe your mission is to keep notes and suggestions from your perspective for them to consider. Later. No need to piss them off too much while you are there.
Have you considered keeping a journal? You could write your observations and concerns. As well as visitors and greetings you receive. Things you might clip from magazines, that sort of thing.
Keep the faith!
