The Executive Office of Aging and Independence had taken "several enforcement actions" against a Hopkinton assisted living facility before a woman recently died in a 99-degree room. https://www.wcvb.com/article/several-enforcement-actions-taken-against-hopkinton-assisted-living-residence-before-resident-death/74095814

Oh the horror stories I could tell.
But I can't complain about showers because I refuse to go into their cootie infested shower rooms.
I think twelve hours is the longest I had to sit in a s**tty brief..... But I was waiting for a shift change.
There is about one meal a week that won't send me to the hospital. Today that meal was Shepherds Pie.
Yesterday they served a tasty Chicken and Kotex Bake. (I am being snarky) Next week there will be two servings of Python Regurgitated Chicken Parts. (More Snark). Residents say on the praise board that the food is tasty. Hmmm
I reside in an Ensign Facility

The Denver Post is investigating resident care at Colorado’s three largest nursing home chains: the Ensign Group, Life Care Centers of America and PACS Group.

We’re particularly interested in hearing from residents and their families about whether they received prompt help with daily activities such as eating and bathing and whether facilities were able to prevent or treat wounds.

Understaffing and turnover

Click on the picture
It should take you a picture with comments.
In the comments is the full story.

The conditions in nursing homes and assisted living centers around Colorado, where residents often receive as little as two hours of direct care each day, are deteriorating.

Chronic understaffing has led to severe deficiencies at these facilities, more than in most states, with rising numbers of complaints lodged by residents.

A small article about Ensign Group.
Unfortunately..... my facility is part of Ensign Group.
I will see if I can get the entire Hunterbrook article to post and FB let's the post stand.
Well the entire article is under the pic.

Patients are dying.

Food service from earlier in the week.

You probably can't see all the stains and grease smears.
The lunch utensils were just as bad.
Gag! Gag! Gag!

Original leg post earlier this week.

It may be closer to curtains than I thought earlier today. The leg infection has gone higher than my knee. It has not done that before. The last time the infection took the leg.... I spent about a week in the hospital with IV antibiotics. I will tell the night nurse and see if she gives a damn. You might as well know that this is infected skin and not infected blood yet.

Update..... I got oral antibiotics and some cream. They wanted to send me out..... But still here.

Here are the goldfish
Kiss their ass goodbye
No one gives a s**t.

One fish is missing
Dead? Stolen?

I can't reach the water
And no test kit

Update on the leg infection.
Hahaha
Moved from personal.
No antibiotics
Cream only.
Wanted to look for a blood clot?
Are you insane?

And then several days of hell with CNAs. Still s**t in the crack.
Didn't even wipe!
Excellent work!

Just love it here.
