My mom needs more care and attention than what the facilities offer, even in the smaller homes. There are NO skilled nursing homes and with the quality of care that continues to decline industry wide, I am lost and making myself sick. More regulations and inspections need to be put into place. The things that I have witnessed in these homes are more than sad. My mom was in a rehab to start with which she was ignored, left in her own filth, made her try to walk on her broken ankle, which she broke on their care. The care homes get worse; mom need to be set to the ER numerous of times due to their lack of attention and care. The quality of the food and the cleanliness of the facilities is not acceptable. Unless you are self-efficient in every way, you receive the minimum care. My mom is self pay! Not on Medicaid. It's very expensive, she is not getting what she is paying for. I have moved her three times, I am not able to care for her, or she would be at home with me. The whole industry is a racket and is ripping people off.
It seems our OP doesn't have any question here for us, but wishes to discuss the current status of LTC.
