They expect us in the nursing home to offer food and fluids, dim lighting and give back rubs before administering narcotics. Suggest these “treatments” to dad!!
I just recently attended a new enrollee orientation for the VA a couple weeks ago. They’re embarking on doing anything BUT prescribing opiods, including oddball alternative medicine/healing crap. If they do prescribe pain meds, you have to sign a “treatment contract” and get tested for drug usage every 6 months. Had to scratch my head at that drug screen part, I mean WTF?

Can’t find where I stuffed it but Seniors are on 3 types of Phyche drugs at 1 time even if they don’t need them.
