Time to Improve the Nursing Home Furniture
Christmas is upon us and for some of us it will mean making the trip to a retirement home to see loved ones.
Visiting a nursing home at any time is quite a difficult thing to do as no one likes to see their loved ones in cramped, restrictive conditions, but at the same time we know that we don't have time to look after them.
Another reason that can make visiting our relatives or friends in nursing homes is the tatty and battered nursing home furniture.
Sometimes these enterprises are managed by private firms who cut corners in order to make a larger profit.
Instead of showing the least bit of concern for their clientele which should in fact be their main priority they are more concerned with lining their own pockets.
What they seem to forget is that one day the shoe will be on the other foot and they will be in a nursing home.
Having spent a fair amount of time in elderly people residences over the years I can tell you that a large proportion of the nursing home furniture that I have sat on has been decidedly uncomfortable.
Maybe there needs to be tighter governing of these establishments as surely just a little bit of money spent on nursing home furniture would go a long way to appeasing the clientele and their families.
It is not as if it is even cheap to stay in a retirement home, it costs a lot of money.
Most of the people sell their homes and put a proportion of that money into obtaining the care that they receive.
I find it a sad state of affairs when these firms that have taken the money from these senior citizens can't provide a service that is adequate.
The staff that look after the elderly residents are under paid and overworked so obviously a proportion of the profit made should be attributed to these individuals but at the same time money should be invested into the nursing home furniture.
The trouble when any firm goes private is the fact that people are out for themselves, everyone seems to think that making large profits and earning lots of money will make them happy.
I can tell you from previous experience that money can't buy you happiness; it can only buy you things that you will use to fill the void in your life.
Maybe if you there spent more money on nursing home furniture, their staff and their clientele then they would feel more fulfilled as chasing the biggest buck or making money the priority in your life is the root of all evil.
