Part 2
In part two of this two-part series, Nurse Jessica and Nurse Erica welcome back Matthew, an RN with a background in psychiatric nursing, home health, and wound care, who is also a social media nurse influencer. He shares his experiences and insights into the corruption and challenges of protecting seniors in long-term care. They discuss staffing requirements, regulatory compliance and real life cases with tragic outcomes. The speakers highlight the manipulation of regulations to maintain compliance, the burden on emergency services, and risks associated with elopement. They share their personal experiences and the emotional toll it takes on families. This episode aims to help families by providing information on what to look for when considering placing a loved one in long-term care. Awareness of these issues and advocacy is crucial for families. In this conversation, the speakers also touch on the financial motivations behind senior care facilities in an industry driven by profit, not patient welfare.
