I also have links to all my assertions about quality measures and the use of drugs at Gracedale. Council was far more concerned about OT than the quality of care.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-9718038694066168802017-03-20T09:14:53.333-04:002017-03-20T09:14:53.333-04:00Fake News!Fake News!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-84155056463598693912017-03-20T07:32:57.707-04:002017-03-20T07:32:57.707-04:00Rid the citizens of this white elephant and the un...Rid the citizens of this white elephant and the unions it supports.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-50508539922741301002017-03-20T05:37:29.208-04:002017-03-20T05:37:29.208-04:00Given that Gracedale has only one star for quality...Given that Gracedale has only one star for quality measures, this certainly is a Gracedale issue. I consider it far more important than a one-month increase in overtime. The attitude of both Administration and council is reflected by their attempt to ship out a resident who is no longer cost effective.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-32890233923637993192017-03-20T05:07:59.883-04:002017-03-20T05:07:59.883-04:00Overmedicating in Nursing Himes is a nationwide is...Overmedicating in Nursing Himes is a nationwide issue. The idea that this is a "Gracedale" issue alone is asinine. Inspections are not perfect. It might be that some homes are more deceptive and secretive, it may be that Gracedale is more open and honest. Possibly Doctors are more lenient in scripts in some homes.<br /><br />The problem is that the ever increasing numbers of senior citizens needing skilled care is increasing at a rapid pace. The statistics point to ever increasing numbers of dementia and Alzheimer related health issue. Many homes are not prepared ort ready for this onslaught.<br /><br />Sadly, instead of intelligently addressing the issue. The "dump Gracedale" folks are still pedaling their poison. They want to crunch the numbers since they have never given up on dumping the Nursing Home.<br /><br />The Republicans have key players in place and are planning one electing more of them. Many folks are beginning to realize that Gracedale is in danger not from inspectors but from those who have an agenda to see it sold off. This will be a major campaign issue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-80149561118284731372017-03-20T01:46:44.552-04:002017-03-20T01:46:44.552-04:00If this place was under private control it would b...If this place was under private control it would be run better and have a higher rating. Rid the rest of us that didn't steal our parents assets and stick them in that hell hole and cry when the thought of them having to actually care for and pay for our parents well being. Its time to drain the NC swamp too and rid of of this hell hole both for the patients and the taxpayers. called Gracedale-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
