Memory Care Patient walks out of the front door.
Paragon Gardens Located at Mission Viejo, CA. It has just come to my attention that a resident at this facility just walked out the door of Paragon Gardens. This is an Assisted Living and Memory Care facility. Memory Care patients are supposed to be in lock down because they are hazardous to them self because of their memory problems.
Can someone in that area of California confirm that this is on the news/radio? This is what we have heard so far at Corporate. I’ve had to deal with this facility on an almost daily basis. They are always troublesome, most of the staff doesn’t speak English well enough to communicate over the phone; they have had more than one issue with the state leaning down their neck to meet state regulations because they are always understaffed. Sadly things like this happen far too often. We had a resident down in Georgia break through a window (with metal mesh on it), get out, and they have yet to find her. She also was in a Memory Care unit. Personally I don’t ever want to be like that when I’m an old man. Locked down, treated like a baby waiting to die. Would you ever put your parents in such a facility? Jam it back in, in the dark. "In a somewhat related statement. Hugging fat people is soft and comfy. <3" - Jan "Jesus, Gumby.

The little itch inside your mouth you keep tonguing! |
I listen to the news a lot on the radio when available (living in Cali myself) and I haven't heard anything about this. But if it does break out, it'll probably be around the 10pm news hour.
I do know what you mean about these kinds of troublesome facilities, lack of communication and understaffed. I volunteered a summer of helping out at these places for older people and it was very much like you described. I would never put my parents into a place like that! There's nowhere I can't reach. |
That's Interesting. I would think that a place like that would be more locked down and have better security.
As for the parents. ONly if something is seriously wrong that a Nursing home can't look over. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Thanks Devo for the information.
Dekoa, they are supposed to be in a lockdown for this very reason. They have locked fire doors that keep them inside. They aren't supposed to be able to wander out the front door. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? "In a somewhat related statement. Hugging fat people is soft and comfy. <3" - Jan "Jesus, Gumby.

But being understaffed just elimninates those security Measures. If someone just is psychotic, but smart enough to work doors, then they can get out easily.
I was speaking idiomatically.

No no no, Memory Care is for people who suffer from Alzheimer's disease and other memory related problems. It is my understanding that it is very rare for these people to be violent. These are the type of doors that are designed to keep people in. It isn't a matter of smarts, besides if they can't remember their childrens names, how do you expect them to open a locked door?
I don't think this was someone smart enough to get through a locked door. My guess is that someone just fucked up and left the area unsecured so the guy wandered out the door. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? "In a somewhat related statement. Hugging fat people is soft and comfy. <3" - Jan "Jesus, Gumby.

Perhaps it because the difference of our cultures, but chinese family like the one I have never put our elder people in some of facility. They live with us in same house till the time comes. It's just a proof we respect and love 'em much.
That's why I sometime wondering why western people dont do the same with us. But yeah, perhaps it's difference of our mindset. I dont really have problem with that though. FELIPE NO

How ya doing, buddy? "In a somewhat related statement. Hugging fat people is soft and comfy. <3" - Jan "Jesus, Gumby. You just...came up with that off the top of your head?" - Alice |
I wonder where I would go if I couldn't remember anything. I think I'd have an instinctual need to find the nearest Chipotle.
I used to work at a medical supply store and we'd get people asking for Alzheimer's aids all the time, like things to strap old people into bed and such. I hope I don't ever need that. :\ Jam it back in, in the dark.
and Brandy does her best to understand

Truth Be told, I would only do that to a person if they were in severe need of it. If it was family and they didn't have a problem but can't live on their own, then I'll let them live with me as long as it doesn't get ridiculus.
There's nowhere I can't reach.

My parents are workers. That's one of the main reason I need my grandma to replace my mom. Yeah she had been suffering cancer for long time. But instead of nursing her, she had nursed my sister and I more. I would be angry to my family if she had been put in some nursing facility.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I agree it's definitely "nicer" to take care of your own folks as long or much as possible. Sadly, that will not always be possible, depending on the condition they are in and also the situation the caretakers would be in, too. You can't work a job all day when your parents need constant help or supervision.

I once had an older man knock on my door. He was lost and had no idea how to get home. I called the police and invited him in. The police found his ID on his keychain, and were able to call his daughter to come and get him.
She was very grateful. I was speaking idiomatically. |
I wouldn't dare let anybody I know stay in a place like this! If not having enough staff is an issue, they should either hire more people or transfer the patients to places where people can watch them. I think it's a disgrace for something like this to happen!
