My mom was the screamer. She was in the NH for 22 years, private pay. She had mental health issues, yet was more or less okay until she grew tolerant of her medicines. We were perhaps a bit more tolerant of the staff there because placement for mentally ill people is the biggest headache in health care. First, just dealing with those patients takes a special staff and there was essentially only the one place that would take her to begin with. Second, government regulations to prevent warehousing of mentally ill people are a pain in the ass. It may be just as hard for that family as it was for mine. But that was their problem just as it was ours. I'm glad you are out of being caught in a bad situation no matter if it was racism or psych problems that were behind it. You just need to get better and get the hell out.
