Physicians are having trouble with the wording " serious cognative impairment". Many see serious as end stage in wheel chairs or bed bound. Many higher functioning residents can reconize danger such as fire, know to leave the building, but then may wander off. I think the word serious should be removed and leave the definition in place.
