    If you have Family, Friends, or Others in any Local Nursing Home or Rehab Centers - Make sure you check on them very Frequently - - The Employment Turnaround Rate, Lack of Quality and Quantity of Personnel and Care is Astounding to take care of them.

    Falls, Burns, COA (Cover Your A&&), Lack of Bathing, Feeding them when they could not feed themselves, and Changing them is unfortunately - a Big Time Occurrence -

    Takeshia Moore, a Nurse who was Hired at Wildwood Senior Living Center - is on Trial Right Now for Assaulting a 77-Year Old, which caused him to Break his Hip. I was told that this same Nut was Hired and Worked at another Local Nursing Home - When I confronted them - they Played the we cannot Release that Information - Yet, did she do similar acts to their Residents???

    Please Check on anyone you have in a Nursing or Rehab Center - -

    We should remember - Society should be judged by the way they treat our Elderly and our Children...

      Thanks 517, somebody out there needs your persistent drabble, probably the deplorables in society. The rest of us find your pious, self rightous diatribes boring and condescending.

    3:43 - Why don't you, Shut Your Mouth. Read the Bible, 5th Commandment Thou shalt honor your father and mother, this includes your Elders. You lack Empathy and Love for your Elders. You are a very lonely and pathetic person, who only thinks of themselves, someday you find out the true meaning of righteousness.

    A gray head is a crown of glory;
    It is found in the way of righteousness (Proverbs 16.31).

      543,503, As long as you're the judge and jury, (get over it, YOU'RE NOT), not much any of us has to worry about. If you both would learn how to read, nowhere is there criticism of seniors in my statement. You both are back row drama queens who probably are on the state hotline for child abuse, given your propensity for quoting ( and twisting), hard line christian white nationalist extremist views. Get over it 543, If you're entries weren't so condescending, they would be moderately tolerable reading. When you come across as a all-wise savant, it's a turn off.
