True to a certain degree, but some nursing homes are just plain bad. That is why a lot of adult children move their aged parents from one they determine is bad to one that isn’t.
I only know the medical capacity in Italy is fair, if that good concerning geriatric patients. Geriatrics in Italy in the more recent years gave scanty attention to the acute care of elderly people by concentrating its interests mainly on long-term care with special attention to nursing homes. They went to where the money was.
It’s one of the problem areas of universal care. And you can’t play the game without a field to do so as the lack of funding capacity in a high volume situation was far more than they could afford. So they may talk a good game, but the first pitch went to the screen and was called, “just a bit outside.”
