That shit was harrowing at the retirement home I worked at. I only worked during the day, so the worst thing I saw was falls. My fiancé’s brother worked at night, though. The residents would get stir crazy at night. They’d try to “escape,” and they’d be found laying in the nearby hospital’s flower bead. This was in NON-assisted living. Trump definitely reminds me of those residents. They’d end up walking to the hospital because it was the only place they knew how to get to, but they didn’t know why they were walking there. They just wanted to escape. A lot of them expected their old house/ kid’s house.

There are fake Bus Stations in front of some Nursery Homes with patients for dementia, because when they escape… they wait for the Bus.
That’s a good one!
My grandma did that. She escaped a dozen times, even behind a passcode door.
