Last month, Gov. Patrick Morrisey announced the sale of this state-owned nursing home and the three others to a private company.

And while the company says it has no plans to cut staff, public records show it employs fewer nursing staff on average at its facilities in other states than are employed at the state’s hospitals.

Hospitals built to provide safety net for West Virginians

Well West Virginians that voted 70% for Trump and Republicans, hope your loved ones have the day you voted for.

And while the company says it has no plans to cut staff....

That would be a lie. Again.

Prepare for intense urine stench, pressure wounds, skin degradation from lack of hygiene in incontinent patients, unexplained falls, and constant visits to the ER

fewer on staff is only part of what will happen. the for-profit entity buying the nursing homes has to "pay" for the acquisition somehow, and it will come from squeezing everything they can out of those properties.

I feel like maybe we need to stop wishing the other side I'll, and instead start showing them how we can help.
