My late grandmother was put on Fentanyl after recovering from surgery. My mom argued with the nursing home to decrease her dose (and used Prince's death as a talking point) but to no avail.

Prior to her moving into a nursing home, she had a home health aid. Her meds were always going missing and there's reason to believe that they were stolen (home health aids make minimum wage--- not a fair salary for the work they do).
