My thoughts after reading this:

"She had grandchildren, great-grandchildren. Four sons."

Aaaand none of them noticed anything odd? Or they didn't ever show up.

Not to take blame away from the facility, but come on, visit grandma once in a while, will ya'.

And sons don’t want to check their mother’s butt for bedsores.

Maybe the daughters in law or granddaughters could have done so.

Or maybe they trusted the staff to do proper assessment and prevention.

That’s why they put them there. No one wants to take on the responsibly of caring for them.

Our mother went into a county-run nursing home after a stroke. The facility was almost brand new, but it was run by typical lazy government union goons, so already looked and smelled dirty

Mom soon developed bedsores on her legs from inattention, so got her home and worked out an around-the-clock care schedule among our siblings. She was able to pass away in her own bed, surrounded by her family.

Yes, they is the real problem...our government and society has destroyed the family and now everyone instead of pulling together to grow family farms and family businesses and raise lots of kids, goes off to distant places to work for international companies , no longer raising human kids but expending parenting instincts on neutered animals treated like children, so that Americans can continue a meaningless existence of consuming but not producing so that politicians can have lifetime employment telling us what to do and how to live as they replace us with millions of people who they hope will be less insolent.
