I found much of the same things in nursing homes while I worked through a pool and even worse. I knew a TV investigative reporter who told me that if I could get a few other nurses to back what I told him that he would do an expose on nursing homes. I couldn’t get one other nurse to come foreword. They were afraid of being blackballed. Fat chance, there has always been a shortage of nurses and caregivers.

That was 25 years ago and still no one gives a damn! Elder care and help is not a priority, or for the most part even on the list!

A sorry reality for the once great nation of THE UNITED STATES!

Speaking for myself, i think it is just the tip of the iceberg. I am currently working in London as a carer and would very much like to share my working experiences with Sonia.
