Want the right to kill grandma and grandpa for profits

Until you've had someone you care about in a nursing home or care facility, you just assume they have enough staff, decent food, nurses and doctors. Then you find out the reality is, they usually don't. It's about making money, not care.

Here are some of the largest nursing home corporations:

The Ensign Group
As of 2023, this California-based corporation had the highest net patient revenue (NPR) of any skilled nursing facility (SNF) corporation, at $3.35 billion. The Ensign Group has been involved in many mergers and acquisitions in recent years.

Genesis HealthCare
This Pennsylvania-based corporation had the second highest NPR in 2023, at $2.23 billion. Genesis has 241 SNFs and 29 assisted living facilities.

Providence Administrative Consulting Services (PACS)
This Utah-based corporation had an NPR of about $2.59 billion in 2023. PACS has 168 SNFs and seven assisted living facilities.

It's all about money, who cares about the residents.

home execs should be worried that they'll soon be out of a job.

Buying up everything having to do with health care, human and animal alike, should be brought to a dead stop. They are famous for liading up debt, making a fortune on maintenance and contract fees, then selling assets before selling the company or hitting bankruptcy.

But I am of a mind that there should certain things walled off hedge funds, venture capitalists, and all those involved in late stage capitalism.. anything that pertains to the life, freedom and health of human or critter should be off limits. That includes the private prison industry.

Just as no politician should have the right to tell me what I can and cannot do with my body, no corporation should be in charge of a person's personal safety and freedom, and certainly no corporation has the right to decide when I should die, based on their profit margins. I'm just kinda funny that way.

my friend was sent to a rehab center. She told her sister and me that the hospital social worker gave her a list of places and told her to pick one. As far as I know, my friend had no counseling or advice. Just pick one. The place could not manage her care, was not equipped to handle her needs. She was in there from 8/27 to 9/27. Then she went to hospice and she died on 10/1

We are in Ohio. The rehab center was understaffed daily, which I saw every day I visited her. I would have to go out in search of any kind of employee for any assistance for my friend. Her sister and I did what we could, but we couldn't change the dressings on her wounds, lift her around, give her pain meds that eased her pain. We weren't on her HIPPA, so didn't have a say in the options she might have had. The bedding was dirty, she asked repeatedly for pain meds, always delayed. She fell twice, once while she was being transferred by a P.T. from chair to bed (really), got a uti, stopped eating. There was a doctor who came once a week and spent 2 minutes talking at people in there, or talking over them, as if the person were already a corpse. I can't tell you how she fought to regain her health for months, but going to that rehab center was the end of her.

The hospice center was better staffed, more attentive and safer. Too bad that level of care isn't available in rehab centers.

If you find a good worker, the bad situation will drive them away.

"We'll Ignore Grandma Any Way We Want v. US"

I just don't know how we overcome this type of stuff. If they win it will condemn thousands to a painful and lonely death.

Republicans truly hate regular people. They want a world of hate, misery and suffering. Truly depressing.

Believe me, these homes really, really, really need more HELP and better pay for nursing help. I've seen it with my own eyes. That's why Kamala wants Medicare to pay for home care. It would help the elderly keep them in their homes which is what elders want.
