July 4 2012. Our "full service dining room" is becoming more like a prison mess hall! The speedy-scooter knocked into the oxygen carrier again fourth time, and sparked a ruckus because when the victim complains the aides yell at the victim. I left my table with baked beans in hand to find a quiet corner. When the ruckus quited down, I returned for dessert, but the nurse on duty who had been spoon feeding the Alzheimer's-case, had left him so he started to pull himself away, grabbing on to the Oxygen carrier again causing more loud protest. The waitress would/could not move the Alzheimers but had to wait for the nurse. More shouting among aides and victim. I took my pie to a corner to finish in peace. The staff is busy defending themselves instead of moving the oxygen victim to a safer spot. What to do? Maybe I should eat earlier to avoid the melee?
JULY 24 THE WARRING FACTIONS HAVE ALL BEEN SEPARATED; AND PEACE AT MEALS IS RESTORED.
