I’m so sorry for your loss, Alec. Clearly nursing homes have patient loads that are too high per caregiver and per doctor, and too many of the caregivers are too low-paid, too rushed, and do not have the necessary skills and training to care for vulnerable elders with complex care needs. I am beginning to understand why my mother was adamant about caring for my father at home.
