[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please avoid Montcare Potomac. Maybe all nursing homes are equally bad but they were perpetually understaffed. There were many kind workers but it was typical to only have one nurse for an entire corridor and the nursing assistants were overworked resulting in my loved one waiting an hour or more at certain times of day. She was left to have accidents because she couldn’t get to the bathroom. Later she was left in dirty diapers for hours.  [/quote]

This may be due to the challenges of finding staff, but may also be due to corporations successfully lobbying to lower patient/resident to staff ratios. Lots of folks blame blue state guvs for COVID deaths in nursing homes but refuse to acknowledge that the Trump admin weakened nursing home regs that may have limited/stemmed contagion.

Start with the nonprofits and see if they have openings. I'm sure not all are tops, but I've had much better experience with them. Nothing like overhearing staff at the nonprofit home talk amongst themselves about how great it is to open a supply closet and find the supplies needed to do their job, usually not the case for them at the corporate-owned homes.[/quote]

Virtually every forum here has at least one and often several threads going today about problems stemming from corporate greed and extreme capitalism.  Where will it end?[/quote]

It won't. It's always about the money.  [/quote]
