[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on the facility. I looked at some through long-term care medicaid and they were horrible. But, I've seen others that have a good reputation and much nicer.[/quote] The places that are horrible are largely due to corporations cutting corners at every possible point. If folks don't want horrible facilities, then they should support elected officials and policy that establish minimum staffing levels and require a threshold of monies to be put back into the facilities. I had two relatives in SNFs: the one in a nonprofit had dedicated staff for daily activities and the one in a for-profit only had activities when volunteers showed up, nearly always religious with programming completely focused on Bible reading and hymns. That's great for those residents who observe accordingly - the volunteers were lovely. But when that is a center's ONLY programming, well, that's awful.[/quote]
