I wish to ask all three presidential candidates a simplistic question:  What are your plans to assist nursing home residents, who are vulnerable within state regulated facilities?

• NEWSFLASH: Many nursing homes within America are ABOVE GROUND GRAVES!

************************We are neglected:

• Patient to nurse ratios are AWFUL (50 to 1)

• Nursing home facilities are understaffed

• Unsanitary enviornments

• Minimal access to the "real world"

• Minimal hygiene services available: bathing, grooming, exercise,  and dentistry needs are lacking

• Rodents within facilities

• Limited food and drink choices

• Limited visiting hours such that family and friends are given FALSE impressions of the facility's TRUE stand

• Many nursing home residents are routinely IGNORED as nurses sleep, eat, read magazines, speak on cellular phones, and gossip

*****************WE NEED HELP******************************************What are you suggesting to help us?  Remember, you too will get old some day.  Moreover, you don't have to be ederly to end up at a nursing facility!  An unexpected accident, sickness, or injury will land you in a nursing enviornment (HELL HOLE).

Lastly, despite how much money one has, NOONE is going to blow your nose and or  wipe your behind....................................AS YOU DO!

*Therefore, HELP US!   Please.....................................
