Interestingly, for these people, it wasn’t a problem.
They had fewer health issues, of any sort.
My grandmother only died in her mid-90s because of malpractice in a hospital. She was doing great until then, and was actually great in the hospital for a postponed hip repair, but they accidentally killed her with two separate drugs, which she told them felt wrong, then ignored her description of what was happening to her over the next half day, giving her increasing doses of morphine to block the destruction they’d caused, inside her.
Until then, she was driving herself around and still using a non-motorized push mower on her small lawn. She had all her mental faculties, too.
I am still absolutely frustrated at her death, many years later.
Don’t blindly trust doctors and nurses to do the right thing. Be glad they do, when they do well. Encourage them, but get second-opinions. Double check or sanity check everything. Trust, but verify. Use the Internet and friends to gather information to help. Get yourself and your loved ones out of there, as soon as is feasible.
My boss’ grandmother and her three sisters lived to be: 104, 106, 108, and 110. Now that would have been a study.
I feel the same way about my grandmother. She joined my wife and I in Japan and got the full tour in her mid 80s, very active, and she had type 2 diabetes and cellulitis back then. She continued on until her early/mid 90s without walking assistance, but finally was put in a wheelchair by her living assistance place.
She finally was killed by the first injection of the vaxx at 99 (which was for her own good, right?), she had a stroke within a week, lingered for a week or so, then died. She was to be 100 in a few months, a former WAVEs through WW2 and she had met my mother in law in Japan, who was a child in Japan and had seen Osaka bombed by America.
“Don’t blindly trust doctors and nurses to do the right thing.”
Truer words we’re never spoken. Society learned that the hard way over the last three years.
Excellent advice. The medical personnel in a hospital or SNF regard themselves as separate and independent of the patients and their families. This is their training. And, it makes them more efficient and less biased. But, the unintended consequence is the absence of any feedback from the patients and their families. They pretend to listen but do not act accordingly. So when a patient reports an adverse condition not expected or predicted, it takes a lot of speaking up to get it to a point where the professionals will act on it.
Just sayin.
Never go into hospital without private care or family member there 24 7

I’m so sorry to hear that. It’s especially galling that she was trying to tell them she wasn’t feeling well from those drugs, and they merely gave her morphine to stop the pain.
