From the New York Times:
Leila Arnett, 94, moved into a nursing home in Louisville, Ky., last summer. She’s having a hard time — congestive heart failure, aortic stenosis, trouble hearing and seeing, general frailty. She recognizes visiting family members and can make conversation, but her dementia is causing delusions.
Recently Mrs. Arnett reported being kidnapped by a relative’s “ruffian friends,” taken to the dining room and force-fed. As near as her family can figure out, she was referring to volunteers trying to help her eat. The week before, she informed her daughter Elaine, a friend of mine, that a Cuban man had slept with her in the bed.
