:-(
It's hard.
So much of it is luck ("why was that coffee table there?!?"), and so much of it is finding that one person who can make a difference in their care. Too many places are understaffed, have people in over their heads, have nurses that don't understand that all pills can't be crushed, etc., etc.
Some nursing homes can be Ok. See if you can find one that also has patients who are there for temporary rehab - they're a lot less depressing than those where everyone is in a bed, some are screaming, there are noxious smells that don't go away, etc., etc. :-(
Hang in there. Best of luck.
Cheers,
Scott.
