Ultimately, their fear and frustration can turn to anger, causing them to be verbally or physically aggressive toward others. This, in turn, can lead nursing home staff to respond by having a doctor prescribe medication to calm the person, and sometimes, to retaliate against the resident. This cycle can lead to the elderly patient becoming depressed and withdrawn.
Nursing home residents in Arizona who are restrained risk losing their autonomy, their personal dignity and their self-respect
. Often times, family and friends of restrained residents will avoid visiting the resident because they, themselves, feel painfully helpless in being able to improve their loved one's situation.
