Just noticing nowdays the nurses in a lot of the homes

Are calling the residents "Grandma". I'm so old and gray haired I remember we used to say sweetie or whateveh. But this is a trend? I guess its not as disrespectful??? Just noticed it.

There are a bunch of posts/ threads on this topic. It is no disrespect intended. Look around for the discussions....might be in the LTC fourms.

There is one resident that we call "Gramma" it is prefered by this resident and okay with the family and it is care planned.
