No true question but rather a discussion topic:
CNA's from two Nursing Homes run by big corporate are picketing this week for a well needed solution to understaffing and their severe lack of pay in relation to the work they are expected to perform and staff to patient ratios.
I truly feel this is necessary because the year my uncle has been in care the staff has been very underappreciated, understaffed and has a pay scale that compares to working a fast food restaurants with very high responsibilities for the pay grade.

My brother's WONDERFUL Pacifica Senior Living in Palm Springs and Hemet is now sold to something called The Cottages. I hope they are half as good. As an RN much was shared with me about the woes of any attempt to keep senior living good, with good care and good nutrition and good everything.
It will be interesting to watch, as changing times are always.
Picket lines show up when contracts are due. Whether they last past that time will remain to be seen.
Let us know if you speak with folks there.
Aging care is a vocation. When they are good they are Saints.
