I agree 10:09, however, just because you are paid a meager wage is no excuse to do a terrible job.

Unfortunately the people actually giving the care are paid a pittance while the owners/administrators are getting the big bucks.

My late mother was a patient at an American Senior Communities Alzheimer's care unit near Indianapolis a few years ago. There was always an issue with her care. Medications found on the floor and in the cushions of the furniture. Unsanitary conditions. Just to name a few. A lot of lip service from the upper management (usually someone hired straight out of college) and a lot of turnover with the staff.
I lived out of town but the first question I was always asked by the staff when I came for a visit was "how long are you in town for?" They hated seeing me come because they knew I wouldn't tolerate the sub- standard operating procedures of the facility.
The only way anyone can get these elder care "factories" to provide proper care for their loved ones is to stay up their *sses all of the time.
The care providers who do a good job are far outnumbered by the sorry ones who are only there for a check and could care less about providing compassionate care that they charge people's life savings to provide.
Thanks again big brother government for failing our elderly beyond belief.

Let's here it for the oligarchy!

Ahh, the convergence of Corporatism and the Government, of course all the "watch dogs" in the Government are toothless when the welfare of the people are in jeopardy or at risk. Will Pence come back from his junket to Japan and conduct an investigation??? Will the leadership in the Indiana House and Senate demand answers??? I think we know the answer will be NO!!!

Occasionally, the Media will report on the egregious examples of poor nursing home care in Indiana, but there never is any determined followup, by them to hold our political leadership accountable.
