there will soon be an epidemic nursing shortage. Who will want to work there, unheard, ignored, and abused for peanuts?
Decades of Canadian and provincial governments have totally taken these people for granted and bear the blame for low wages, not hiring more people, and not dealing with home and hospital crises. The politicians are mainly to blame for what is starting to happen. They destroyed these facilities.
I have long said that an elderly person should try to stay home and maintain a separate residence if given a choice as they age. Homes and hospitals are, repeatedly, places to go, to be neglected, and to die in for older people. People who believe they or their loved ones will be well-cared for and protected in homes are kidding themselves.
