Nursing Home Cuts

[Storm Wolf]

Ok. I was going to originally post this in the health care reform thread but it seems to be locked due to ignorance....~sigh~

Nursing Homes are slowly closing up due to lack of funding!

Anywho....I find this a bit disturbing and troublesome. I Work as a Certified Nursing Assistant and to think my job is in such jepordy does worry me. My facility just got a grant for 4.3 million to buy an assited living facility that was closing it's doors.

We've walso just recently took 18 patients from another Nursing Home that closed due to it's lack of funding. I'm not sire what to think of this.

Is there anyway we can make this better? I mean...I worry about my job, but what would we do with all these people that can no longer care for themself? It's scary to think we are dooming our own people to be homeless!

Anyone else here work in healthcare in a longterm/rehab facility?
