I'm stunned by this inadequate standard, and outraged that there is no recognition by 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.

The Government ignores another crisis. Now we're going to have elderly people sleeping on the streets while well-dressed Ministers hold up their hands and say "But what could we do?" before going off to their dinner in Guilbaud's

Yesterday, I shared my experience living in a long-term care facility on the-site-that-shall-not-be-named. I meant to post it here the same day, but I kept having computer issues. There's a lot for me to unpack. I'll unpack more of the emotional toll later. -termcarefacilities -profithealthcare /1

Elder abuse, predation by , government benefits & insurance denials—there’s a growing need for Elder Law, particularly for low-income people and people of color, but few attorneys in the field. Equal Justice Works provides fellowships for recent graduates to train in this important field. # AcessToJustice law360.com/access-to-justice/a

"Insufficient coronavirus testing of nursing home staff was a driver of waves of coronavirus infections and deaths of elderly residents in 2020, the most vulnerable time before vaccines became available...The study...found that 1.1 million more staff tests per week nationwide would have saved 427 lives each week during the worst time of nursing home outbreaks, from November 2020 to mid-January 2021."

A new study, appearing today in the New England Journal of Medicine, shows that nursing homes that conducted staff surveillance testing more regularly experienced significantly lower rates of COVID infections and deaths among residents.

This is absolutely crazy. I had no idea people in US nursing homes don't have any control over their pensions and get such tiny monthly "allowances." It's $50 a month in my state, only $30 in Alabama. With inflation, what can people even buy with that little to last all month? apnews.com/article/nursing-hom
