The same happened to my grandfather when he spent his final years in a nursing home. I cannot tell you what I would like to do to the women who treated him this way.

I know it's no comfort, but I have found that people who do despicable things, like the vermin that hurt your grandfather, quite often get paid back in kind. We don't always know about it, but they do.

I have a grandmother who is ailing and I am terrified at the thought of her going to a nursing home. Why do people enter the nursing profession if they hate other people so much?

wonder what the race of the patient and the CNA’s are..

“I have a grandmother who is ailing and I am terrified at the thought of her going to a nursing home”.

Mom was an R.N. She always told us this: the patients who have visiting families, families who check on their status, ask questions and DEMAND action if something isn’t provided ensured that the patients got better treatment. Not just in nursing homes but hospitals as well. If you have to go the route of a nursing home, visit often, ask questions from staff, ask questions to your loved ones about treatment.
