June, she can't operate the wheel chair to even leave the room if she wanted to. I worked in a nursing home. I know how the entertainment portion of the day works. They are all corralled up, brought to a room, their wheel chairs locked in place and they stay there until the "entertainment" is done. Then they are all wheeled down the halls back to their rooms or community room and usually fed their meals. Very lonely life, but this activity is inappropriate.

I've been around these places enough to know that the staff are overworked and the residents sometimes suffer for that, but no facility is going to force their residents to sit through a striptease if they stated that they were not interested.

These are residents who are higher functioning mentally but may have physical disabilities. I live in the area of the nursing home and was told families had to sign off on the activity for residents to participate. And supposedly this took place in the fall of 2012.

That's possible, but I don't know, if she pretends she was coerced, I think it had to do with her son's influence over her. I think he's just after the money he assumes he'll get from a lawsuit.

Its one thing to "protect" a person with dementia, but another thing to "forbid" her to go to something like this that she has a choice to go to or not.
