[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 411226, member: 6546"] I have worked in nursing homes before and usually - we do our best NOT to lie to the residents. If it was a "tricky subject" we would always try to distract and re-direct instead. And then yes, after a few minutes, more often than not they forgot about it. There were , however, residents who had times when they were very clear - very lucid - and when they realized where they were, they often had many questions. Times like these, I felt the "re-direct" method was inappropriate....and I always did my best to answer simply and honestly...even though it might hurt. I think they appreciated someone being honest with them... [/QUOTE]
