Most aids in these places make next to nothing in wages. When you pay next to nothing, you get a much higher percentage of losers.

I have an elderly relative, now retired, was a ‘country doc’,MD.
Born, raised and only left for med school and WWII; the same town.

Going out with him is a treat, EVERYONE stops to say hello.
Dining out? Eat fast, because you be introduced many times.

Everybody, white and black is connected, somehow.
His wife sadly had Alzheimer’s,some of his doctor friends sent their parents to high-end support homes in the big city suburbs.
I visited her many times and doubt anyone had better care.
It was, oh we attend the same church, or I always went to Doc M. They cared about her, they were connected.

This is in the larger ‘hub’ of small towns.
The wages are not so much here, for many this is an almost OK job.
The woman that does the hair for the patients, ask for some type of old-fashioned hair drier with a soft plastic bonnet and hose back to the heating unit because the ladies cannot move. My cousin the garage sale/ebayer quickly found one.
They were very happy to have it.

I cannot imagine this happing at this location, too many connections.
I believe the welfare has broken many of the old connections.
