Without slavery, the elderly will suffer
Did I get that right??
It isn’t just long term care.
At least 75% of the RN’s who work at the hospital I retired from last year are foreign born.
I’ve heard complaints from American born nursing graduates who can’t find jobs.
This is one of my biggest fears going forward into old age.
Oh, bite me. Any caring person can work with the elderly. Sheesh.
So immigrants are the ONLY ones able to provide elder care???
One liberal woman moved from LA to another. far away, state and actually complained about her lawn and garden because “they don’t have Mexicans there.” Sheesh.
This will be more winning, for American born/citizen nurses and caregivers!
Here's some suggestions on ways to safeguard yourself: Go to some of the facilities in your town with a friend. Have your friend or relative make an appointment with the owner, director, or person running the facility. Then while your friend is getting 'the spiel' you sit by the elevator, or patio, any gathering place etc and casually ask residents how they feel about the place.
They will tell you the truth.
As far as abuse is concerned, if you're in that position AND you can't move to a different facility AND you want to complain - START AT THE TOP. Send a letter to the Governor of your state telling him exactly what's going on.
It's not that the Governor will ever see the letter - he won't. BUT his staff will refer the letter to a group to investigate. It'll be the same group that investigates all nursing home complaints... BUT they'll be required to send a report back to the Governor's office so they'll take more care. Not that it should be different, but it is - human nature and all.
There are some fairly easy solutions to abuse that goes on in these facilities... but I doubt they'll be put in place. So you'll have to protect yourself...
You're in my prayers... do your research now while it's still easy...
Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!
I am amazed they admitted this to tell you the truth! It should be a wake up call to Sleepy Session to get ICE on the ball.
My question is: Who would want an uneducated, possibly criminal, possibly disease infected, person from a third world sh!thole (where they wipe their a$$ after a dump and throw the crusty toilet paper on the floor) taking care of their older or disabled family members?
And why is KAISER hiring them?
I still think of the way the Haitian woman on the evening shift at a nursing home shouted irritably at my 99-year-old relative when my relative couldn’t understand the Haitian’s heavily accented English. I took the woman aside and kindly explained that it wasn’t a hearing problem, but that she needed to speak more slowly and pronounce her words more distinctly to be understood. I got a dirty look as thanks. Then I had a few words with management.
Muslims in elderly care will spit on you just as they scream & spit on women Doctors.
Very few people can see the ‘slavery-lite part of this horror... I suspect Sessions primarily sees that the law is being broken...
you'll see....its a nightmare...unless you have a lot of money...
Americans used to take their elderly into their own homes to care for them..
nowadays, they want to somebody else to wipe soiled butts for minimum wage...
Exactly.
They’re worried that they’re going to lose their slaves... again.
That’s Racist and misogynist!
Most of the nurses at my uncle’s nursing home were foreign. the Filipinas vwere kind.The Nigerians were not. The Americans were good but never stayed.
1. Care of the elderly and disabled in the US is currently far from Capitalism. Talk of “letting the free market fix it” means changes to Medicare and Medicaid, and to Regulation far bigger than tweaking immigration and ending TPS.
2. If FReepers support ending TPS, then they had better put top priority on alternatives such as increasing take home pay of the working poor, not penalizing the working poor for working, and not rewarding the lazy for gaming the system to draw welfare.
The problem with elderly health care isn’t the lazy gaming the system. The problem is that elderly health care is often more expensive than it would be to put grandma on a cruise ship. Meanwhile, the workers in these industries, because of cheap non-citizen labor, workers get near slave labor. Pharmaceutical companies reap in obscene profits keeping grandma permanently stoned. The problem is the fascist state.
