A resthome happening:

A resident with dementia has one shoe off and one shoe on, and keeps trying to put the one shoe on the foot that already has a shoe on it.

When I try to guide him to go put it on the other foot, he keeps insisting on doing what he's doing.

I have to call someone else to come in, to reset the situation and try to get him to put his shoes on right so he won't walk around without one shoe on and trip and fall and hurt himself.
