i wonder how much of the money paid monthly for their 'services' goes to the nursing home owners or shareholders pockets? medicaid (meaning tax payers) pays thru the nose for many, the rest paying thru the nose for their own care. one patient pays the monthly salary of four workers, and probably part of a fifths. you have to figure about ten patients/residents (or victims, depending on your POV) probably pay the entire salary for all employees. a few more provide the meals. use your imagination to figure where the rest goes.
nasty, horrid places for the most part. i'll run a hose from the car to the house and go to sleep forever before i go to a place like that.
