Nursing Homes...

Does this title seem too extreme to you readers? Well trust me, it’s not! I love my husband so very much, that I gave up almost everything to be by his side after his major stroke, at an unbelievable nursing home. This work is not an exaggeration. I foolishly thought with someone doing the laundry, preparing the meals, helping with showers and the like, that I would be entering a restful environment. I was very mistaken. Sadly put, what I’m about to tell you is an epidemic of problems that seems to be raging through nursing home after nursing home.     Before very long you find yourself groaning internally when Nurse X or Aide Y is coming on duty. You know instinctively that they are doing the same. The prime reason a nursing home is dying, not unlike the dinosaur has done, is that it is only as good as the aides and nurses who are hired to work there.     The atmosphere has been very hospital like, at best. The food is loaded with that dreaded aspartame. The juices and the tempting snacks are always filled with aspartame. The unbelievable mass of drugs, most loaded with additives such as anti-freeze, aspartame and MSG are being given out like candy, and without any warnings about their effects. Most of the “inmates” willingly down their food and drugs without thought about the ingredients. The “jailers” play around a lot with the window of time that the drugs may be dispensed. There should not be a one to two hour window on much needed seizure medication. Full article here: http://www.rense.com/general96/nurs.html
