Last March, lawmakers passed the CARES Act, which distributed tens of billions of dollars in federal aid to help nursing homes and other health care providers. That relief money never covered the full cost of care during the pandemic, Sanders said, and the costs continue.
Many nursing homes across the country — including in California, Indiana, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Colorado, Kansas, Michigan, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York and Rhode Island — have already permanently closed their doors in recent months.https://bit.ly/2MuQ8jI
As nursing homes close, family caregivers — overwhelmingly women — will likely feel the additional strain. Almost 42 million Americans, or 16 percent of all adults, serve as caregivers for relatives 50 and over.https://bit.ly/2MuQ8jI
According to data compiled by @AARP, most of the people doing this unpaid, labor-intensive work are women, and, on average, they are just shy of 50 themselves.
Many have jobs outside the home, or are also primary parents for young children.https://bit.ly/2MuQ8jI
“We don’t tend to think about long-term care until we need it,” Sanders said. “Long-term care has traditionally not gotten the ... recognition it deserves for its vital role in the health care system. I hope that as a result of the pandemic, that changes.”https://bit.ly/2MuQ8jI
Anyone who has visited a loved one in one of these holes knows they are poorly managed. For how much each person pays to stay there...the food is lousy, care is non existent, and there is never any staff around. There's a reason some people call the residents inmates.
Nursing homes have been charging the state for basic items that are never used by some patients. The basics: soap, comb, toothbrush, basin..charged on a regular every month. A paralyzed patient has no use 4 these items. Rarely do aids use these products on them.
Wait, what? You’re telling me neither you nor any patient has a need for a comb, toothbrush or SOAP? How go you keep the person clean and groomed? I’m floored you would disregard a patient like that.
EXCELLENT NEWS- warehouses for our Elders should be illegal if families have the means to care for the Elders in their own home or with in-home healthcare assistance. The loneliness and neglect is down-right inhumane.
Room here's the thing about that there are not what so ever cleaning the room where the sick person just came from and now the people that where not sick is getting sick trust me I am one of them this country has to help nurseing home out more then what they say they are help
