It’s our system. I fully support a capitalistic system but when profit is more important than people, we’ve tipped into insanity. There should be legislation that protects the citizens but it’ll never be allowed and they’ll teach their followers to call it communism. Will voters ever wise up?
I just wrote a thoughtful comment about our system and society and it was deleted by this channel or YT. This happens to me about 70% of my comments. I’m moving toward never leaving a comment again.
for profit healthcare been around since payments were recieved by mail via IBM punchcards 😂🫡🇺🇸👨⚖️🌍 Jails too....seniors probably be talen care of better in state funded prisons
Very true. Had a Catholic owned hospital dump a dementia patient on the doorstep of the homeless shelter I volunteered at. Got very lucky the shelter had a truly brilliant social worker on staff.
As an acute care nurse for decades, I discharged patients to nursing homes and then watched as they returned to my unit filthy with taking wounds, malnourished, dehydrated, septic. Oriented patients came back on antipsychotics, benzodiazepines, confused demented. Horrifically sad. But few speak out because there is no one to take them home.
I believe you because the nursing home I was at began dispensing Morphine tablets to me to knock me out after I reported that I witnessed my age 80ish roommate crying aloud after being slapped repeatedly by a CNA and I identified the abusive nurse. She got moved to another wing in the building.
I was a CNA at one of these facilities. Patient to CNA ratio is 15 to 1 -federal law. That’s already too many patients to CNA to give proper care but one day I had 43 patients. The nursing home kept saying they couldn’t find employees but they weren’t willing to consider how overworked we were and the McDonald’s down the street was paying $4 an hour more. To make things worse when things did happen the nursing home was quick to blame the CNA’s and wash their hands of any responsibility. One of the administrators laughed at one CNA and asked her what was the problem since she (the CNA) was judgement proof. I quit. I loved my patients but the management was just evil.
My grandma recently passed, and she was a part of those nursing homes that had become rapidly consolidated within these large, holding companies and made her cost go up exponentially while the quality of her food and care dwindled, and she was at a very expensive facility within Texas. I couldn’t imagine what those who have no means have to deal with.
Private equity ruined the hospital where I work. They sold the lab and resulting time suffered. There's no customer service and no one at that company cares 😢 there was a C.diff outbreak because of their reporting errors
I have been a nurse since 1996 in long term skilled care for geriatrics. Nursing is not what it used to be. It's definitely not about the residents anymore. As nurses, We are supposed to advocate for our residents, when you try to do that, it's just a matter of time until management finds a reason to fire you because they do not want to hear it or know about any issues, then they may be expected to actually do something. It's a shame. As long as the paperwork is completed & looks "good". Sad on so many levels tbh.
This is why we REFUSED to have my dad in a “care” (that’s a joke) facilities. My dad had PD and Lewy body dementia. We knew and he knew that his quality of care would be horrible. We (my mom and I) cared for him at home, it took me moving back to be near them, to make it possible. But he passed at home where he belonged.
Lisa's report on caregiving has terrified me of what will happen once i get older. I hope this affects some real change, make better wages, so staffing can get the pay they deserve
Save all you can so you can pay for private care, bc a person making decent money won't have to quit to find another job to support themselves. Then you're not dependent on the state for care. Lobby the politicians now, so CNAS make good money, they'll get better quality employees. The elderly aren't able to be vocal & aren't a big voting group, so they're ignored by politicians. That's what is needed, legislation that harshly penalizes places without enough employees to keep a good worker/ patient ratio, food inspections, harsher penalties for abuse or neglect of a resident, fines for owners who don't do thorough background checks. Things like that can make a huge difference.
Lisa, it is sickening that elderly people are treated this way after working their whole lives. Wow the CEOs are raking in millions and dollars a year and salary people are suffering.
Why is this a shock? I mean, many adult children don't even want to spend time caring for their own parents, why would strangers spend good money caring for old people who are dying anyway? The best care one can give to a parent is from their truly loving adult kids. If you want the best for your parents, then you should give it to them. Don't expect strangers to give your parents the best care. It's stupid and unrealistic. Now a days, too many adult kids make career/making money and self-indulgence a priority rather than their parent's care as their priority. That's the ugly truth that people don't want to admit. Sacrifice for your parents if you truly love them. Don't blame strangers for why they don't take good care of your parents.
There are way too many people who cannot care for their loved ones & have no other choice. One sweet lady I knew had to go, no family. Her only child & her husband died, she had nobody. I saw her terrible care but since I was just a friend I couldn't do anything. I talked to people & tried to visit when I could, my only options. I could write a book on having no other choices. When that happens, there should be a safe place for people.
The nursing facility here in Nashville Tennessee. My sister went in for part time therapy on her legs & was supposed to come home. They found a way to get rid of me , took over her checks & etc. They treated my sister plum horrible, not fed her, drugged her up & wouldn't let me, family or friends even visit her. & she died. I'm in process of getting lawyers.
Take your loved ones out of these facilities. If not, they will suffer. Facts. Until profit is removed from healthcare it will only continue to decline
Someone needs to file a class action lawsuit. What my aunt experienced was horrendous. She is currently in the hospital dealing with a bacterial infection. I truly believe it stems from her lack of care in the facility. We are taking her home, and doing whatever we have to to keep her safe.
Wow, you guys finally figured this out. This has been going on for years. I've been in the medical field for over 40 years. I've seen it first-hand. As we get older, we are $ to the government to the insurance companies. To the healthcare companies. Etc etc....smh. And it would never get better no matter what, it's all profit driven, and it's NVR going to change!
There are more laws to protect the greed in the senior care industry than there are for our seniors. Its truly heartbreaking. The owners are people who have absolutely no experience or minimal consistent hands on experience in the senior care industry.
Lisa Ling should be very ashamed of herself. With all her wealth, she allows her mother in law to stay in a care facility like that. I would guess 100% correctly that she would NEVER stay in that same facility if she needed care.
This is how for profit and the rest work sometimes you are the only one or just you and a nurse that will tell you I'm a nurse i don't do that work,some nurses and aides are good ,but when they are bad it's bad 42 residents to 2 aides, you stay to help then get kicked in the teeth, over 20 yrs i know what I'm talking about !!!
What are the best additions to a $500k portfolio to boost performance?, ETH is Up and will do better, I believe as indicators for profits continue to improve. investors like me believe that “Santa has come early” to the markets
I think you're better off with majority investment in bitcoin and uprising equities cos they always outperform. Alternatively speaking to a certified market strategist can help with pointers on which to acquire
wow massive gains! my partner recently hinted on going same direction.. what did you invest in, and who is your investment advisr please, if you don’t mind me asking? in dire need of asset allocation.
Lisa Ling should be ashamed! She has more than enough money to pay for private nursing care in her custom built Santa Monica home for her mother in law but chooses not to.
@@Feed_the_Kitty_a_HotdogThe Nicer ones, aren't that good either. You folks need to realize. Everything glitter is not golden. The major problem I have is that families are paying anywhere near, $1000 a month and up if they don't qualify for Medicaid or Medi-Cal. That cost in many states a month is anywhere from $8000 to $40,000.00 a month, who the heck can afford that when their love ones aren't being taken care of properly.
if you make smart decisions and invest in the right places, you can reduce the risk factor, increase the reward factor, and generate meaningful returns. The majority of stocks will be at or near one extreme or the other several times a year. Stocks have a 52-week low and a 52-week high. equities fluctuate up and down; even rising equities will retrace and test previous supports. It's what they do, and I tend to buy much more frequently at or within 15% of 52-week lows. Although the market is out of my control, I can control when I buy
Education, healthcare and public safety should never be 'for profit'.
Always greedy people ruining it for everyone
Also one horrible company called DWC in Los Angeles steal all the belongings of the women they claim to " help "

There should be more options to keep the elderly in their own homes. Nursing homes have really become a horrible way to care for people.
They've been bad for decades.
Why I fought tooth and nail against my siblings putting my parents anywhere. My father just passed Saturday peacefully in his HOME.
What a **Blessing** 💜
My condolences. Glad you were able to honor your father. Take care of yourself. ❤
❤️🩹My upmost sincerest condolences to you, and deepest sympathies as well. From one fellow griever to another.❤️🩹🙏🏾😪
Whether it is called "non-profit" or "for profit" ...the common denominator is greed when humanity is disregarded...

Lots of abuse goes on and as an LTC nurse I try my best but the loads are too heavy

This is so common not just in nursing homes but in the senior care industry altogether.
Thank you for covering this important subject. Until you see it upclose it's hard to understand what is going on with these nursing homes.
thank you for this valuable report on protecting our nation's elderly

Sending your loved one to the senior homes after what they did during Covid is crazy. Shame on the family members.

Far from alone across USA !!!!!!!!!
America's unbridled capitalism and greed is out of control. smh
They need to come to Maryland I wish I can be apart of this investigation. Cause they are not taking care of people in these nursing homes
This is 1000% accurate

GOD 😂IS FAITHFUL
Did the nurse or CNA have to go to lunch??? Please make a clear distinction.
The ratios are terrible. It is hard to manage 30-40’pts with so much drama crap I have to manage while trying to focus on patients
Dont get old or sick and people wont capitalize on you lol😂 welcome to America comrades 😂
