[QUOTE="RickN, post: 4291651, member: 8854"] It is sad and crap does happen all to often, which can only be expected when you have minimal wage employees caring for people that many times have been dumped and forgotten by their families, but I will not tar them all with the same brush. I have seen far more caring, dedicated people than I have seen bad ones. I do not remember if I told you guys or not, but I spent a little time in one after getting out of the hospital back in 2019. I could not walk without help and my wife was not up to taking care of me. The employees took good care of me, the food was okay for institutional food. One of them even came in on Sundays and fired up the grill and gave us something different to eat. Grilled chicken thighs may not sound like anything special but it was pretty nice to me. Also the first shower after almost two months of bed baths was heaven. If you do have to place someone in a nursing home, visit them often, talk with the staff and treat them with respect because it is a tough, sometimes nasty job that most people will not do. Not only do they spend 8 hours a day cleaning, piss, crap and spit, they have to see people they grow close to pass away a lot more than other people ever will. I still have a hat that belonged to a lady at a home I worked at. She would get up at night and roam the halls sometimes getting into trouble. Several nights she would be out of it and I would pick her up and carry her back to her bed telling that she had to stay there until I came to get her for breakfast. One morning another aid tried to get her up and she refused. Said she was not getting up until the big man came to get her. :P Her family gave me the hat when she passed because they said she always talked about me. [/QUOTE]
