The harsh truth about nursing homes is that they just don’t work.

Nursing home staff are often overworked and underpaid. Nursing home staff are often understaffed which happens all the time in nursing homes.

Nursing homes have several units and the smaller ones than the other ones are the best ones to be on because they’re easier to manage.

Nursing homes have this stupid habit of pulling staff from big units to smaller ones creating shortages in staff. It creates a big problem for nursing homes. A staff member is left to do a two-person job all by themselves. This creates situations of a staff member getting hurt more frequently.

Hospitals are often understaffed as well, however, they handle it better.

The nursing home issue is an issue that the government needs to take a look at. Don’t get me wrong nursing homes have improved from what they used to be. It still has a long way to go.

It doesn’t make sense that a floor in a hospital can manage having short staff yet a nursing home can barely keep up.

It’s not to say hospitals don’t have their problems, they do. There are some hospitals out there that struggle with patient care, however, it usually happens on a specific floor.

Nothing ever going to change unless government and the medical field come together and try to solve the problem by putting into laws to solve the problem that continues to exist.

The problem with health care is that profit comes from helping people. It’s sad but money comes over helping people in the medical field.

We will never see change unless we put people over money which could never happen.
