This is going to be a long post—
I have worked in Long Term Care for 15 years. There are some bad apples. There is no denying that. That said, there are some fantastic facilities run by fantastic people. Great care provided by folks that are here because they love your family member and want them...

Medicare-covered skilled nursing services are a different discussion. A private pay resident should always carry a coinsurance to avoid any out of pocket expense in this situation.

As many have already said, it is not an easy road. It’s also impossible to predict the path your loved will take in the disease process. Try your best not to argue to prove the truth. All that will do is frustrate both of you. Love on them and find the humor where you can. ...

The daily rates in Louisiana typically go by the rate Medicaid sets for the facility, and that rate is established by the average level of care provided to the resident population. The facility isn’t asking for financials to “bleed” anyone, rather to be able to assist in the Medicaid application pro...
re: Water pressure question
Posted by SnoopyD on 4/25/21 at 1:25 am
I do have a tank that can be adjusted but it’s coming out of there just fine. The line from tank to the first spigot is 50-60 feet and runs under ground. From there I go up and over. There’s not really an option to stay low. Going to add a lift station just north of the first spigot and see how that...
Water pressure question
Posted by SnoopyD on 4/24/21 at 5:41 pm
My barn area is on well water at about 30psi. The hose bib where water comes comes in has great pressure. I ran pex up and over to the other side of the barn for a couple more hose bibs. Those obviously have lower pressure. It hasn’t been an issue until trying to add a mist irrigation system for new...

re: Nursing Home Covid Deaths By State: Even more reason to open this up.

In the long term care setting, the setting where i make my living, this thing is impossible to stop once it’s in. Your got an infection that that is contagious but invisible for 4-11 days, as we have been told. We, along with many of my colleagues and counterparts, have done everything we have been ...

re: Are permits needed for a bathroom remodel?
Posted by SnoopyD on 6/28/19 at 9:47 am
I just lived this the hard way, albeit for a huge project. We didn’t get them, at the direction of a contractor who turned out to be a piece of shite. We paid in a huge way financially and time-wise.
Get the permit. It’s cheap and painless. You just have to do things the right way, which is a go...
