I totally agree. It's a brutal business, especially if you have any kind of heart. So many places just can't afford to take Medicaid patients because the reimbursement is so low. I told my parents I'd never put them in a home. I worked with too many awful people in that business. At one place we had people selling and smoking crack at work and stealing patients' pills. The pay is so atrocious, though! It's hard to get good people to work for so little money. I'm not sure where all the money goes, but it isn't to the staff!

A lot of the cash is eaten up complying with regulations. It does NOT leave much, minimum wage "I do NOT care", employees are the norm there. Some of the monitors I made were intended to alert the decent people if someone was not doing their job!
Most are snake pits, and living in a tent would be better, SMH!
>:(True! So much regulation, but people are still regularly treated like garbage. It's maddening. The only industry more regulated than nursing homes? Gambling.
Both are a gamble. The FDA does a lot of harm to our medical system. I have done the regulatory work for a small business, so I KNOW directly what they cause in the way of problems. Those are Evil people for certain, with no regard for the welfare of sick people!
>:(Indeed. They approve anything they're paid to approve. They care not at all if it kills or helps.
