Thank you for the reply. Yeah I'm making it happen either way just wondering if I was overreacting. I just would rather prevent a developing problem than try to fix it when it is a problem.

I went through nursing school a few years ago, and they pounded into our head to always reorient them to when they actual are and to be honest. I just in practice haven't seen it done that way and my first year was rough because of our patient population. I would usually just try to calm them down and get them to laugh.

Just wondering if you have been taught differently in school, it just seems so cruel. I understand it is important on the psych side to not indulge delusions and such. Curious if your education they also taught that you should always make them aware of reality and that what they are seeing isn't real. Somehow this gets applied to dementia patients it seems like and it never sat well.

Thank you for the tips about the food, time to find some low sugar/sugar free yogurt. I'll see what appointments they have lined up so maybe I can talk to his GP and get a referral. He had speech and occupational therapy at a skilled nursing home until he was healthy enough to go home. I know he still get physical therapy. I just wish I could make him happy from his heart and not see the pain and frustration that is getting him down.

Thank you again!
