My mom is in assisted living and I have a suspicion that the staff, or perhaps a resident, is taking her money. I need something that won’t look out of place and isn’t easily disabled, maybe it plays possum when unplugged but has battery backup. Anyone have any advice?

I don’t think this is true. Most people in health and elder care would rather do their job than risk getting fired or sued because of a rude client.

I’m not suggesting for one second that the mother would have a negative care experience. I’m just stating the obvious that some people would no longer do those extra little things. I notice in some of the care homes I go to that some residents are called by name and some are referred to by room number. All of them have their needs met - just some are treated more compassionately and others are treated only professionally.

So no, they’re not getting all their needs met?

I’m not sure how you can come to that conclusion when it contradicts the actual words I wrote.

Working to rule vs working for people.
