I just talked with a coworker about this today. Her dad lost his leg because they failed to respond to a foot infection and they then also blamed him for not telling them soon enough… It’s disgusting how we treat the elderly in those facilities (and here we pay double those 3k btw…) I was forced to work in a nursing home for 2 months as part of my civil duty (military service substitution). I couldn’t do it anymore, it just kills you how they treat some people. Those are grown adults and I was told they can’t have a small knife to cut vegetables, not because they were unsafe with them but just as a matter of policy. Others where given clothes to fold that afterwards where thrown back into the same bucket that they came from to be folded again tomorrow. They were lied to and treated with less respect than little kids… And then the whole COVID thing in addition to that where they couldn’t see anyone and had to endure this idiocy basically 24/7.
I really never thought about suicide but if I end up in such a facility when I’m old, I might have to reevaluate my stance on that… that’s not living, that’s dying in installments while being drained of your money….
I'll never forget one time when I was visiting my grandmother (living in a nursing home with memory issues and a lack of control of the other side of her body due to cerebral hemorrhage). When we arrived in her room, she was actually in the toilet shouting for someone to help her get out of there. I don't know how long she had to sit on the toilet - or how much longer she would've had to if we did not come visit right then.
It's not a life worth living at that point, I wouldn't wish that on anyone. You're just being kept alive for the sake of being alive, regardless of the quality. Euthanasia needs to be legalized everywhere.
