An ambulatory care (not a nursing home) dementia unit where either people get private or share rooms will have a single nurse. There may be 30-60 residents, multiple floors, multiple wings. There will be 2 or 3 med givers. There will be 3 to 6 caregivers. Depends on current patient count. Plus you gotta add in cook staff, maintenance, activities, executive overhead, etc.
They are fools. They view old folks like small children and if they get out of hand they merely need redirection. They are wrong. Old folks at this stage are crazy, sure, but they also know they can get away with anything. They have a lifetime of accumulating slights and grievances, and are quite happy to take it out on the staff and other old people.
