A former neighbor investigated NHs for the state AG. He said never go to a NH, the abuse/neglect was constant. Hopefully when i get to that point, I've be able to take a handful of pills and take the long nap.
We, as a country, need to have a discussion about end of life choices. When a person is diagnosed with a terminal condition, the doc should write a script for something the dying person can take and leave the earth with dignity. In my small rural community recently three folks, near the end of life, have shot themselves in the head, they should be able to check out by making a choice to take a pill.

It boils down to hiring practices and the culture of the company that manages these places. Facilities that are for profit/revenue driven, penny pinching and operate on state minimum staffing levels often attract the dregs of society to care for these people. CMS has tried to regulate these types of things out of facilities but all they have done over the last 25 years is make it harder for smaller operations to stay afloat. More facilities have been bought out into the for-profit model by large chains and created more environments where this type of thing happens more frequently.

We have something like this already called in home hospice where they are doped up on opiate derivatives for a week or two, and if still not dead, dope them up more, if you know what I mean.
