You might very well be correct, at least partially, explaining the horrific conditions in state hospitals -- across the country -- were found guilty of.
Modern meds aside, there's human nature component to care too, eh?
The possibility of a psycho state employee who actually likes the idea of helpless people & all that that implies?
Those cases were all too common in the past, y'know.
And *who* was going to inspect a state run facility for compliance?
Another state bureacratic agency?
In any event, if [we] continue on as we are we're all going to find out who's right & who's wrong; because, the corps in LTC will simplt get out of the business & you know what that means, right?
We're right back to state run/managed institutions, again.
Because one thing's for certain, the children of our elderly who're willing to take care of their parents are indeed God Blessed in all ways; but, are also in such a minority as to almost not merit mention.
As a boomer a lot closer to my time in a LTC facility now than ever before, a state hellhole's a prospect I don't look forward to & neither should you.
...no sane person w/should.
