It's a legal liability for the nursing home. The woman was 86 and wheelchair-bound with partial dementia and needed a chaperone. It may have been okay for some of the other residents who could move freely, but she is a dependent and I'm assuming the son has power of attorney. The issue is that it wasn't safe and she couldn't make a decision for herself. They gather everyone (who can be wheeled in) for events in nursing homes, they don't ask individually if they want to or not.
From my experience in nursing homes, the most I was allowed to do was get ice cream and call bingo due to insurance garbage.
