The two nursing home here have no physical restraints rules and to protect residents and staff the turn to drugs. Turn on the fog. Awful to see a family member disappear and wish there was something better.

"Now, as the disease tightens its grip on him, his confusion and fear meld into frustrations that result in frequent scuffles with caregivers, including choking, slapping and kicking"

Stop electing Branstad and republicans in general.
