    This is absolutely terrible. How the hell did this happen? Why were they not evacuated? What the hell was management doing?https://twitter.com/nbcnightlynews/status/907960301412405249 …

        After spending years working in nursing homes this doesn't surprise me. Many are way understaffed and too often run by large organizations

        Nursing homes often have to weigh the risks of evacuating vs. staying. Both are dangerous options.

        There is no accountability, not from local or state authorities. No deterrents to this type of neglect. Real jail time is sorely needed.

        The situation in some nursing homes down here is horrific. Employees just don't care. Minimum wage jobs

        Remember Donald pushing to make it harder for patients and their relatives to sue for nursing home abuses/negligence?

        So FEMA could not supply a generator and window a/c unit?

        The oppressive heat of Florida makes the power outage that much worse. When Sandy hit NY/NJ, loss of AC wasn't a factor.

        They probably couldn't evac...things were crazy down there. My family could barely get down the street.

        The conditions are unbearable in FL right now. Check out our recent post about what Robinson Fenelon + fam is going through. No AC = no joke

        Sounds eerily like what happened in New Orleans after Katrina.
