I HAVE JUST BEEN READING THE PAST REVIEWS, I THINK THIS NURSING HOME SHOULD CHANGE IT'S NAME TO BERKELEY VALE SELECTIVE CARE NURSING HOME, REASON THEY SAY THEY ARE DEMENTIA SECURE, MEANING RESIDENTS CANNOT LEAVE OR JUST WALK OUT, THIS IS TRUE,
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THE DEMENTIA CARE PART WHEN THEY SAY THEY CARE FOR DEMENTIA PEOPLE THIS IS WHEN IT BECOMES SELECTIVE MY WIFE ELIZABETH HAS DEMENTIA AND SHE DOES AS MOST DO WANDERS, WILL NOT ALWAYS STAY IN BED OR IN A ROOM, SHE ALSO NEEDS HELP WITH HER TOILET NEEDS AND CHANGING OF CLOTHING, NORMAL FOR PEOPLE WITH DEMENTIA, BECAUSE SHE GETS CONFUSED WHEN PEOPLE TRY TO HELP HER SHE CAN GET RESISTIVE AND CURSE AT THEM, BUT THIS ONLY LAST FOR A SHORT TIME (WHILE THEY HELP HER ) BUT THIS IS IT SEEMS TO HARD FOR THIS SO CALLED DEMENTIA HOME TO DEAL WITH, THEY CLASS THIS AS VERY BAD BEHAVERAL PROBLEMS, AND MAY DISTURBE OTHER RESIDENTS, ( FOR PERHAPS 10 MINS ) THEY WILL NOT IT SEEMS EVEN GIVE MY WIFE A TRAIL TO SEE IF SHE WOULD AS I THINK SHE WOULD BLEND IN WHEN SHE GETS SETTLED IN I THINK THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY A NURSING HOME IS ( JUST ANOTHER BISSINESS ) THEY WANT PAYMENT FOR SERVICES, WITH NO PROBLEMS THERE ARE SOME WHO CARE BUT TAKE SOME FINDING, I COULD BE WRONG WE WILL SEE, WILL THE OWNER RESPOND I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A TALK
