Panic and indifference. I bet the literature package for this particular nursing home says what a wonderful, safe place it is. Families must rearrange their lives to take care of their own. It is a sacrifice and requires a change in lifestyle but it is a loving way to treat our family members. Sticking them somewhere is no guarantee that they will be safe. The faster Wilkes & McHugh gets involved, this NH will cease to exist. Go, Jim Wilkes!
A sacrifice, yes...but, sometimes, depending on the elderly or ill person...it's not always an extreme sacrifice...sometimes may only be a minor inconvenience....if nurses can come by fairly often for those who are more ill or helpless....that would help, especially if it's an elderly person taking care of another elderly person. But a NH is the last place I'd want to be or those I loved....of course, there are those who aren't home all day...so solutions need to be figured out for that.
Hope that Wilkes can shake things up out there.
The local doctor I saw, or maybe it was the son of one of the patients who died, said this was an absolutely wonderful place.
