As a long-term care nurse for many years, I am telling you the administration salaries are great is the nurses and other healthcare staff working the floor that are getting slammed because we don’t have enough staff we have to do more work as exhausting and burn out quickly. I will no longer do long-term care after spending, almost 40 years in it I am done. I just cannot do it anymore with short Staffing. The reason Indiana wants to hold this measure is because they don’t want to pay out any more money. They don’t care that the residents aren’t getting the care they deserve and the nurses are burnt out and tired of it. All they care about is money. Nursing homes are a business, and it all comes down to money which is very sad. , nobody wants to do it. Healthcare is such a mess right now. Unless you work in it, you have no idea.

Why should we continue to barely staff nsg homes? Cut the pay of those sitting in an office as CEO, DONs, etc and pay staff what they are worth. More staff will allow for better care and less burnout, less medication errors, less falls, less skin breakdowns, people might actually get fed. Unless families are there daily a lot of care gets skipped. If a patient can’t feed themselves they may go without food. These people don’t need their massive bonus every year to skimp on care. 1 nurse should not be responsible for 30 residents with 1 aide.
