I think the one thing that would substantially increase the quality of care at nursing homes is to increase the pay of the people that are more directly involved in the care of the residents. Nursing homes are cess pools because the people that run them want to keep costs to a minimum. I'd be all for state/federal funding of nursing homes as long as that funding doesn't just go into the pocket of the person running the place.

We're talking about the same nursing homes that charge thousands of dollars a month, correct?

Yup, both of my parents were in a nursing office\assisted living facility before they passed and most of all the staff there probably couldn't get a job in a real hospital. |

IIRC, most of the people that go into nursing homes have like a 6 month expectancy of life from the point they enter. I just recently read that, had no idea that was the case.

It is going to be hard without force quarantining them. We don't have the testing capability to test them so I don't know... |

Yup, we had one patient who was still pretty active for his age (well as much as somebody is active with 2 missing legs) die from a UTI because the home was rationing diapers to 1 per patient for per day for some stupid reasons (changing vendors I think).Family was not very pleased.

I had to as well, guess I'm not as well-versed in Nazi slogans as some. Her intent is clear but I'm still not sure how it's a microcosm of the nature of the protests. It doesn't even make sense to imply that.

Most of them were in for 4 years, minimum. Also, regardless of where you live, even decent nursing homes are $7k per month, which becomes quite expensive if a patient is there for years on end. |
