There are reports of sexual assault on seniors in those places, neglect where they are left in those beds and assaults. Sometimes they are short-staffed and seniors fall trying to leave the bed to make it to the bathroom. They have no time to spend any human care with them. It's much more than trimming nails. You are always so negative and sarcastic back on ignore you go. Never serious.

Apparently these places are suffering the effects of inflation after getting hit hard with Covid-19 pandemic fallout. 80% of residents sick and skilled nurses and staff failing to return to work. Then unable to hire staff at the same wages as budgets will allow from seniors unable to pay more and Medicare not keeping pace with inflation. Its a total mess being old and alone.

This is Biden's America.

All citizen-facing professions are suffering. Health care, aging care, teachers. We are a coarse and ungrateful people generally, no one wants to work with us.

Care of the elderly has largely fallen to immigrants who band together in the workplace. They protect one another against the outsider. The outsider is anyone outside of their ethnicity, especially Americans.

The elderly present problems of their own. They can be abusive, obstinate and combative. Patience runs thin when caring for the elderly. Two hour shifts will keep that Patience from running out and stop the facility from becoming an armed camp.

Be careful. "Murica!" gets offended when you point this out. I've been noting this for years, having travelled all over the world. Americans are rude, crass, ungrateful people. We're not the only ones out there (Brits are just as bad), but you'll find most other people more welcoming and easier to get along with.

$7100 a month where my mom was.....And that was just "upper mid-grade".

Most in my AO have had a revolving door of ownership.

a lot of private equity destruction in the nursing home/small hospital business around here.

these guys need a total investigation into medicare/medicaid fraud (most medicaid money goes to nursing homes)

What's the solution OP?

Euthanasia.

The NY nursing homes lost a lot of patients during Covid because of an executive order by Cuomo that forced them to admit infected patients or lose their licenses. In a just world Cuomo would be guilty of about a thousand counts of manslaughter and the current governor might be implicated but the crooked NY judicial system protects democrats and punishes republicans.

thne assaults and sexual stuff must stop. under capitalism, there is no funding or reimbursement for human care, which is still left to the family/friends .

My grandfather was in a facility. I think it was like 4k a month. We really had to keep an eye on the situation. Poorly paid staff who I really felt they were trying but just overwhelmed making peanuts

We kept our mothers at home with us; they wanted to die in their own beds, not some hospital, and we made sure they got their wishes.. Both passed away in their mid 90's.

You are good people. Congratulations!

Much of the possible funding goes to immigrants and to pay off college loans.

President Biden can well afford home care when he or his beloved wife needs it.

i believe you will find that medicare/medicaid cost mukltiples of student loan payments and immigrants (federal law prohibits benefits for illegal immigramts.)

children take care of their parents in their own homes,,

Family matters. Should be the norm, not the exception.

The workers, however much they are paid eventually become abusive. Having two hour workdays might help.

how on earth would a two hour workday work? These places need staff 24/7

 

[braalian]

the families that took the worst care of their loved ones at home always wind up being the family members most verbally abusive and accusatory toward staff

They know they took terrible care of their parent/grandparent and so take out their guilt on the poor workers
