I'm stunned by this inadequate standard, and outraged that there is no recognition by #CMS that more funding is needed. I observed what were considered "good" nursing homes/SNFs/assisted living several times over the past 10 years - and the current "good" staffing often leaves patients/residents unattended for unacceptable periods of time - and STAFF ARE STRESSED. this is not good for anyone. And underpaying staff is bad practice for so many reasons.

Health CEOs hauled in $4 billion as inflation pinched workers - Oh but we can’t pay nurses and nursing aides any more, it’d break us!! What a crock of BS. Just another reason #MedicareForAll should be enacted.

I got a firsthand look at how understaffed our hospitals and nursing homes are today. My boyfriend's mom is in rehab, post hip surgery. He and I went to buy some hair scrunchies and elastics for her. When we arrived to see her and give her stuff, she said she had the same hair elastic in her hair for the past 3 weeks. I don't know why someone didn't take it out when she was admitted or tried to wash her hair other than lack of staff. Her hair was so matted. My boyfriend and I spent about an hour combing her hair out with a detangler and detangling comb. We had cut some of her hair off, but thankfully not too much. I braided her hair in the hopes it wouldn't get so bad before her discharge date. The nurses don't need to comb her hair or cut it, but it's sad that they are so overworked that they can't even notice things like that.
