From Barbara Stone: Nursing homes are nothing but slums and ghettos for the elderly

From Me yesterday: You wouldn’t dump your dog at a shelter, why are the probate judges dumping grandma in a nursing home facility on a routine basis?

Although I have to admit, what they feed dogs and what they feed grandma at the nursing home is pretty similar.

But dogs at a shelter get walks. Grandma gets a feeding tube at one end and a diaper at the other. Grandma will never see the light of day again.

What if we did that to dogs and cats at the shelter/pound? Wouldn’t it be easier to take care of them too? Feeding tube at one end, diaper the other? Never change it but once per day and only if they holler?

We don’t like it when dogs and cats live at a shelter for months on end, so why is it okay to dump grandma in a nursing home for years? Take all her assets and money and give it to crony tied in lawyers and nursing homes?
