And this is why my mother is never going in a nursing home.

That's horrible and that Nursing home owner needs to have a taste of his own medicine lock his ignorant self up in a warehouse with no food and water and no air conditioning see how long he will last ... They need to give that nurse a job in a real facility that care's about elderly people and all people period.

America is no place for the poor and/or old.

[mgmassey]

This is quite common.
Mistreatment of the elderly and disabled is perpetuated by the uncaring daily
It's heinous

[queennebi]

Shame on the administration! Sue them for wrongful termination. You need a very good attorney!

[dulynoted]

But, we're the richest nation on earth. Where's all our tax dollars going?

[tnyab.]

Anyone remember the nursing home when Katrina hit? Yeah. Seems like a remake.

[diamondintheroughiamthelaw]

The owner understands money,
Not patient care. 😡😡😡😡😖

[miavos]

Why did the owner not just leave them in the nursing homes? He'd be damned if he did, and he'd be damned if he didn't.

THESE OWNERS IN THESE NURSING HOMES ARE SHOCKING ON HOW THEY KEEP PATIENTS WITH NO FOOD ROACHES LOW STAFF... IT IS A MESS...AND ITS ALL

This nurse is a GOOD person for speaking out, it's the supervisor who is a bad person. This nurse will have better things coming her way.
