My daughter works at a nursing home. She says the government has stopped paying for painkillers and a few others. There won't be anything to keep them calm. They will be breaking out and running amok with the general populace. I don't see how they will recruit employees to work in the dementia ward.
It's already hard enough, I imagine. Without necessary calming/pain meds, the staff won't be the only ones suffering. It's a sad and distressing situation all the way around.

After my adventures in dealing with elderly dementia, my heart goes out to the caregivers and the patients. God bless them all.
