Hi my mother has been in a nursing home for the last nine months she has vascular dementia . She gets very agitated when being washed and especially hates the hoist being transferred from bed to the wheel chair she lashes out swearing and scratching the carers .. I understand that she must feel very frightened when being hoisted but can anyone give me advice of how to make it less traumatic for her please
