I am sure, after reading tons of articles about nursing homes and their own nightmares, that you are probably tired of it all. Please be patient and read a few more. Do it for the sake of those who are currently prisoners in their own nursing home rooms.

Have you thought of this? Most residents inside of nursing homes have to SHARE a room with a complete stranger. Yes, that is right , share a room. So when you think of these residents, even in the so-called good nursing homes, living there instead of living in their own homes, think of them not having a room of their own but instead, sharing a room with a total stranger.

Are you aware that the total stranger could be a sexual pervert, someone already convicted of sexual or other crimes. I will be that you have not thought of that when you thought about living inside a nursing home. Who would think that anyway? I did not even imagine it until I saw a news article about someone who was attacked by someone else who was a nursing home resident. I read a news article, months ago, about a resident who was attacked. (I read many news articles, and these are the articles that most humans do not see, do not read and do not know about). If you want to be in on all the things that happen inside of nursing homes, then you need to be alerted to every single event that happens inside of every single nursing home in the country and or overseas. The information would boggle your mind.

Now, back to the sharing rooms with total strangers. The room is made so that two people can occupy the same room, similar to how the hospital rooms are set up. And you know just how much privacy there is in some hospitals --nil and none usually. So the room is divided by a curtain, not by a room divider or door, but by a material curtain. So that means if you decide to live inside a nursing home, you MIGHT, that is might, end up living in a room with a total stranger. And can you imagine your insurance company or you paying about four hundred dollars a day for a SHARED ROOM? Wow, that does sound outrageous does it not?

So, you share the toilet--if they permit you to stay out of diapers, that is. You share everything. You share the dining room table with strangers. Yes, of course you might get to know someone, but the fact is that most residents come and go quickly, either dying or getting so ill they need the hospital. While at the hospital, most places will not reserve their rooms. So this is part of what living inside there is about.
