The nursing home industry needs some scrutiny. They are understaffed, underpaid and a general exploitation of the elderly. My wife works in a Catholic "non-profit" home and comes home exhausted after ten hours of running around trying to do the jobs of four people. She complains that the elderly don't get good enough care because the staff simply doesn't have time so they are scrambling trying to give all the patients at least some basic level of care. She's been there over twenty years but her salary has been capped and she hasn't had a pay raise in years and will never get one.
