    It doesn’t help when Nursing homes offload residents to the public hospital system when they can’t be bothered with them any more…

    My brother needed the hospital recently for a respiratory complaint; every single other patient in the ward had either been offloaded from the nursing home due to “gastric complaints” or had been admitted months ago, but neither the nursing hone, or their family would accept them back.

    We all know that our Geriatric Baby Boomer parents and grandparents are incredibly annoying, but shoving them in a hospital ward and ignoring them is not the solution.
