try using lavender essential oil when behavior changes - roll on the bottom of feet up and down arch a couple times, and at base of big toes. you can also use on wrists at pulse points and across back of neck. This controls meltdowns with my mother with dementia and helps my sister and I when we're stressed

We have my aunt in a small nursing home in our home town, she has been having behavioral problems, example, when it's time to come into the home from being allowed outside, she refuses to come back in. My question if anyone knows, is that they use physical force to bring her back into the building. They told me that they get behind her and lift her off the ground, carrying her into the building and taking her to her room. She had surgery 2 years ago, and we almost lost her, she has a bad back. When we told the home, they don't care. Is this abuse, or normal?

Good to learn from people who are actually doing the job not just making observations. Learnt some new techniques
