I believe that even in the best of nursing homes, when someone is “near death” but lingering, if there is another patient that needs their bed, that the staff “move it along”. I think it is done routinely. No proof. Just my belief. Gotta keep things “moving along”. Efficiency, you know.

They want to keep the beds full.
