[quote=Anonymous]As horrible as some nursing home may be, generally the more decentralized the care, the greater the likelihood of abuse, physical or financial. CMS does publicize ratings for all nursing homes on its website. Those owned by private equity firms (yes, this is a thing), Manorcare is one local chain, tend to be bad because they are trying to maximize profits. The more he care takers are paid, the greater the likelihood of competent care. This remains an area where cost often correlates to quality. Medicaid kicks in after 100 days of care in a nursing home, but there are income limits that need to be met by first running through out of pocket resources. It will not be the case that baby boomers who can’t afford it will have no access to decent care, unless we allow the republicans to underfund Medicaid, which they appear determined to do. - a prosecutor of elder abuse cases[/quote]
