Need clearer definitions to "therapeutic goals". There are too many different interpretations of this among inspectors and facilities. Please keep in mind that we are assisted living and not nursing home. We are set up to provide home like care. With ALzheimer's Disease, all we can do is maintain function as long as possisbe. ex. teaching someone to us a spoon or fork after they do not have that ability anymore only causes them anxiety and refusal to eat.
