It wasn't the fact that a mortuary opened up for business across the street from the nursing home that disturbed everyone.

It was probably the conveyor belt.

This thread reminds me of my late Father. He went to the V.A. hospital in March of 94 for an eye exam. He was dead three days later. my late Aunt told me that when she visited my Father just before he died that he had feces all over his rear end and looked like hadn't been fed since he arrived. I think that the care takers of the elderly should be held responsible for how they take care of the elderly.

I so mad at reading this. My grandmother (mom's mom) suffered at a nursing home (lack of proper care left her backsides covered with bed-sores and related skin issues), and then after getting her moved to another facility (forcing an afterhours/weekend snatch/pack/"escape" method to get her out of said hell-hole), she lasted no longer than a week at the new facitlity. Further salt in the relatives' wounds? She passed away during this time of the year...between Christmas and New Years...1969.

My mother has stated that UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS SHE TO BE PUT IN A NURSING HOME...EVER.

She won't be...under any conditions.

Who ever did this horror to this poor gentleman needs to be (Insert unspeakable/unprintable method of torture/demise here!!! ) and what's left of their carcass/DNA should be burnt to a crisp, the ashes and remaining teeth/minutia then grounded up into a fine powder, then buried/scattered in a municiple waste treatment plant...prior to treatment...

42 years later and I'm still a bit....

I had a similar thing happen with my father at a nursing home.He was being neglected with improper care and bedsores so I reported it to the state board that did absolutely nothing.When they finally got done with their investigation they informed me that it never happened and somehow everything was fine.

The government pays for most patient care in nursing homes.
