I propose a "seniors' motto": "LIFE IS WHAT IT IS." 😅 (That's my motto, anyway!) Eleanor White

I'd gladly contact a family member, but due to the huge geographic distance, I never had full contact info for the family. I had a couple of phone numbers but they have long since gone out of service. Hopefully one of the local churches will eventually answer. Eleanor White

Got it. My plan would be for nursing homes to accept communications for a resident, and pass it on to them, and let the resident decide whether to respond. If not capable, the home could tell the communicator the message was passed on and no further information is available. That doesn't...

The way I look at is, it can't hurt to try. I take several nootropics, and they really do seem to help me. Eleanor White

FYI, there is a range of remedies for dementia called "nootropics." Here is an 18-minute video by a doctor who was able to restore a fair bit of memory in her dementia-stricken husband with a dose of 7 teaspoons of coconut oil per day. (One must be sure any type of oil these days is genuine...

For those who may be interested, there is a rather wide range of remedies for dementia called "nootropics." Here is an 18-minute video by a doctor who was able to restore a fair bit of memory in her dementia-stricken husband with a dose of 7 teaspoons of coconut oil per day. (One must be sure...

Thanks ... I don't see how it would hurt to try. Eleanor White

I do realize that, and I also realize that severity of symptoms can vary. I don't think she would mind if I made an attempt to communicate. Eleanor White

She is alive and has the right to be contacted by her friends. I'm not going to do anything illegal, but I don't consider trying to locate her as obsessed. Eleanor White

OOPS - I didn't realize that there is a running strip for very brief comments. I found yours, officerripley and thanks. [OLD] I keep getting a notice that forum member officerripley has replied, but repeated attempts to refresh reply page 2 (the current page) do not show anything from...

Great thought, however, the recorded message from at least the two nursing homes in Alice TX says they won't give out the names of any staff members either. I would have liked to contact the chaplains, but without names, I can't do that. I have emailed several local churches asking if any of...

My friend was unmarried and lived alone pretty well for most of her adult life. There was no question of abuse that I ever heard about. Unfortunately, as best I know, this confidentiality blockade of location information applies throughout both the U.S. and Canada - it's not related to family...

Yes, I think I'll try some mailing - can't hurt! Tragic, though, that nursing home residents are kept away from friends, even more than prisoners. Eleanor White

Thanks ... I'm a duck lover! Eleanor White

I will, and thanks! Eleanor White
