[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the ratio of profit to non-profit nursing homes out there? Without reading the article, it seems like a no-brainer, so there must be some other reason we're not all using non-profit.[/quote]

IDK the ratio, but there are just not that many in my experience. In my hometown, there were a number of for-profits, one mom/pop for-profit, and one not-for-profit. Our dad went into a for-profit as that was the closest one to our parents' house and our mom could still drive there in the winter. Then our dad passed. Our mom was lucky about 18 months later - she got into a not-for-profit as there happened to be a bed/room open the day we called. TBH, it was a lot nicer than all but the very fancy for-profit homes in our town. Wasn't luxurious, but well tended and the staff were great. We liked the staff that worked with our dad, but there was tension as the patient ratios were high and the supplies were low. The staff there who were the most organized would try to make the move to the not-for-profit as the conditions were much better. [/quote]
