I know it doesn’t matter much for the purposes of this blog, but in healthcare communications, we typically don’t describe patients (or in this case residents) by their disease; we would say residents with dementia or patients with diabetes as opposed to diabetic patients whenever possible. (I totally get that it doesn’t matter for the blog but I guess “demented residents” had me do a double take)

My apologies. I will do better.

That’s a fair take. We have the same thing at college wrt students requiring accomodations, eg, student with need of mobility assistance.
I wonder if the CHSLD will be allowed to talk to residents in Italian?

If nobody tells you, why would you know? Nothing to apologize for.

Kate, no need at all to apologize. I simply wanted to point it out. 🙂
(I really enjoy reading the blog and visit often but I seldom ever feel I have anything to add to a discussion)
