Prisons vs. Nursing Homes

[TalonRider]

Let's put the seniors in jail, and the criminals in a nursing home.

This way the seniors would have access to showers, hobbies.

And walks, they'd receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental,

and medical treatment , wheel chairs etc.

And they'd receive money instead of paying it out.

They would have constant video monitoring, so they could be

helped instantly, if they fell, or needed assistance.

Bedding would be washed twice a week, and all clothing would be

ironed and returned to them.

A guard would check on them every 20 minutes, and bring their meals

and snacks to their cell.

They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose.

They would have access to a library, weight room, spiritual counseling, pool, and education.

Simple clothing , shoes, slippers, P.J.'s and legal aid would be free, on request.

Private, secure rooms for all, with an exercise outdoor yard,with gardens.

Each senior could have a P.C. A T.V., Radio, and daily phone calls.

There would be a board of directors, to hear complaints, and the guards

Would have a code of conduct, that would be strictly adhered to.

The "criminals" would get cold food, be left all alone, and unsupervised.

Lights off at 8 pm, and showers once a week.

Live in a tiny room , and pay $5000.00 per month and have no hope

of ever getting out. Justice for all.

That's powerful, and spot-on.

With your permission, I'd like to send it to the Governor of California who's shutting down much of the safety net for seniors.

Go ahead. It was sent to me by one of my staff from work.

Insolently, I work for a County owned Nursing Home.

Thanks. I know our Governator will ignore this, so I'm also going to send it to the letters to the editor at our local newspapers (the Times, the Tribune, and the Chronicle). Maybe it will be printed.
