I Am Sick Of Nursing Home Abuse

A nursing home in the Netherlands has gotten in the news because of their toilet policy. Patients are only allowed to go to the toilet three times a day at 11 am, 2 pm and 6 pm. They claim that some patients with dementia want to visit the loo 36 times a day and this restriction "helps them with their want to go to the toilet in a normal way". Luckily the inspection is going to take action against that, but it angers me that a healthcare provider came up with this idea in the first place.

I know, right? I'm glad the health inspection is going to look into it.

They live their whole life and then are reduced to that...it's so very sad. I never want to get that old. : /

@SunshineSwirl: Me neither. I rather live my life to the fullest and die in good health. It doesn't matter to me at what age.
