These are used not only for the comfort of a resident but for their safety. When a resident movies around too much in a regular wheel chair or slides out of one too often they'll put them in a geri chair and the height and depth of it will keep them back far enough they can't slide out any longer but can still move around.

That's an awesome idea as you do have a talent but you should also add history of the places you go.

That may have been a whirlpool tub. I work in a care center and they have 2 of them except their more modern and not as large so they're more accessable to the residents.

The bottom part of the poster that says complex partial seizures is what a Petit Mal seizure is, or a smaller form of siezure. The description of it is kinda funny though because it says do not stop or restrain the person and the bottom line says do not (agitate? hard to read ) the person. During a Complex partial seizure you're not actually with it enough to know what's going on and it's the same thing as a black out without passing out but you don't have the convulstions and everything.

I have epilepsy and it's been my expierence that you never want to place anything in anyones mouth who is having a siezure. And it's also impossible to swallow your tongue.
