The Harsh Realities of Long Term Care Facilities

Susie also talked about her new documentary, "No Country For Old
People," which explores the conditions in nursing homes and the
treatment of the elderly. The inspiration for this eye-opening
documentary came from Susie's and her mom's experiences during the
last six months of her mom's life in a five-star long-term care
facility. I am honored to be part of this remarkable
documentary.

We delved into issues such as short staffing, high employee
turnover rates, and the urgent need for the healthcare system to
change its approach to treating the elderly, especially those with
dementia and cognitive disabilities. Susie mentioned that 200,000
people in care facilities died during the first six months of the
pandemic. She detailed how her mom developed a stage 4 bedsore and
the terrible conditions and treatment her mom endured. Susie's
mother had Alzheimer's for 16 years.
