These "policies" could be a ploy to divert your attention from the fact that they are understaffed, to save money. At one facility I looked at, the decor was very old and dated. The person giving me the tour explained it by saying that "they let the residents pick it out", implying that elderly residents would select a more dated style.

As lily04 mentioned, look out for other "policies", and their relation to keeping operating expenses low.

It's absolutely not OK! Not only is it unsanitary but someone else could step on him or stumble over him and your dad would get hurt, as well as the other person. Letting the people sleep where they feel like it does not sound like a safe place to me. I would keep a close watch and also talk to the staff and the administration.
Best of luck to you.

Its possible he fell asleep there.. But someone should have awoken him to get on a couch or recliner! Very unsanitary! The staff should know better!! Good luck!

If he wouldn't sleep on the floor at home, he shouldn't sleep on the floor there. Even if it is their policy, put in a request that he stays off the floor. In my book that's not ok.
I've never heard of a place allowing it. I would keep my eyes open for other "policies".

You should talk to the administrator and tell them while you appreciate their homier style, sleeping on the floor is unsanitary and unacceptable.

Maybe the "parking lot" was full and that was the best space he could find. Or maybe he is looking up skirts when they pass by...LOL

no bad back. he sleeps alot. I just assume a care worker would guide him to a couch or recliner....they are scattered all over and patients are always sleeping in them.

I have seen many a senior snoozing in the lounge area, but not on the floor. Does he do this for a bad back?
