There is this nursing home in Stilwell, Oklahoma where they send people who have no insurance. From what I hear conditions are just horrible. It is for people who never have worked. I hear that they do things to drive people into despair and make them die early. There is a lot of abuse in it. They don’t even have common areas.

It shouldn’t be accepted. I mean they don’t have to build them crochet courts, or stuff like that, but they should have common areas, and maybe areas where they can pace back and forth. They should let them go outside for a while, occasionally. Maybe have a book or two around. Just little things to make like more tolerable, and let them die in peace.
Its called death with death with dignity.
Hypocrisy making people suffer not allowing access to let people choose vs live in a system that keeps them suffering a humiliating end

Thank you, brother. I was just thinking that everyone has the right to die in as much peace as possible. Death is usually an ardent process, but there is something perverse in trying to make people as miserable as possible so they can die quicker. That’s a betrayal of some of the most sacred principles of medicine.

Health care and aged care should be good quality care for all people.

The problem also is the nurses aids are paid pennies and they should be paid alot more. The nursing homes can’t afford good staff so the patients suffer because of it.
I don’t enough about it to say, but I have heard a number of people say that place is a living hell.
Care staff should defiantly be on a lot more than minimum wage. It’s quite a skilled job because any kind of medication error can and will get you sacked, and your giving 6 individuals their medication many times a day, plus you need to be skilled in communication. Plus compassion is a must. Its quite a hard job.

Judging from what I’ve heard about this one is that they wouldn’t notice and wouldn’t care if they gave you med’s from the wrong med. tray, but you’re right. Aids need better pay.

I’m sure it can be agonizingly frustrating in dealing with some mentally ill people. They just don’t get what you’re trying to tell them.
