Was the woman complaining? If so the answer is no IMO. My Mom has Dementia and did not like the male aides and nurses touching her so I requested only females. It upset her to where she was screaming.
About Me Was caretaker to my husband with alzheimer's and a support for family of friend also with alzheimer's. Now have a female friend with alzheimer's who is in a hospital lockdown unit because she is difficult and I have been told that other facilities will not admit her.
Of course male nurses and aides are permitted to escort a female resident to the restroom! Please do not make your friends life in this facilty more difficult than it should be as this may be her last resort for her behavior issues.
Grace, you haven’t explained what this is about. If it’s a complaint from a third party that two men went into the ladies’ toilet, it’s unreasonable. Women use stalls (small or large) with closed doors, so no-one else’s modesty should be offended. It can be a surprise, but it should be clear what’s going on.

Is your mother uncomfortable with male aides or nurses?
The patient/resident is usually a lot more bothered by it than the male attendants.
