Oh no. Please don't tell me that's what that diseased morsel in the top left corner is.
That’s more than mildly infuriating my guy. That’s just cruel.
Just like with r/Mildlyinfuriating It's like it never left!
My dad is in an assisted living facility and this is unfortunately the type of food he gets. I have to send him groceries every week just so I can be sure he's getting enough to eat.
People leaving USA for cheaper healthcare. Maybe we need to leave for better long term care.
People leaving USA.... Maybe we need to leave....
There, FTFY. 🤓🤘🏼 There's more than enough reasons these days. Frankly, the main one keeping me here for a little while longer is just the youngin' aging into independence. We're GTFO after that. 🤌🏼
I juried a case regarding long term care, and I have to say that some businesses definitely treat their patients as numbers. While this is not what happened in the case I juried, I do know that in many states elderly care has gotten so bad that some clinics will intentionally misdiagnose and mistreat elderly patients for no other reason than to keep rooms filled.
That’s not food. That’s sadness in polystyrene.
A 3k a month what?
Nursing home I imagine by the price?
I wish I noticed that before someone embarrassed me in the comments 😪
for anyone with a loved one in a nursing home: try to visit often! there are pros and cons to letting them know ur coming vs coming unexpectedly. if u let them know ur visiting, theyll probably make some nice food for everyone that day (in my experience at least). on the other hand, if u visit unexpectedly, u can get a better idea of how theyre really treated.
Disgusting. Some of the SNF (skilled nursing facilities) in good ole USA are just criminal organizations
@Striker@lemmy.world appreciate the shoutout. Oddly enough I just happened to stumble upon this post. Did not see this in my “Mentions”
Appalled that the nursing home experience being poor is so widespread. Where I live, nursing homes are largely private enterprises receiving government funds and are poorly regulated. Residents often have to take out reverse mortgages if they own their homes to fund their nursing home residencies. And yes, the food is still often that bad.
Where I'm at, the nursing homes change ownership every few years to avoid responsibility for their negligence
Is 3K considered cheap or costly in the US for nursing home? In any case, this food doesnt look appetizing at all. In India, we still havent gotten these as currently the children are expected to care for their older parents. But when my generation becomes old we probably need to check ourselves into these facilities.
Both really. 36,000$ per year is a lot of money, but as far as nursing homes go, you can easily get up to 120,000$ per year or more.
I don't even wanna know what that blue thing in the left hand corner is. Yuck.
Looks like purple broccoli.
Done right it's lovely.
This is not done right.
Purple broccoli? I didn't even know that was a thing! It looks like.. I don't know what it looks like, but I wouldn't have the balls to eat it.
Looks about right. I worked in a retirement home for 4 years. 2 in the kitchen and 2 doing maintenance. These residents were paying upwards of $10k a month and the food was fucking awful 90% of the time. Not only is the food super shitty but they dont even get all their meals included in their monthly rent so if they wanted 3 meals a day (Breakfast, lunch, dinner) then you had to choose which meal you wanted to pay for out of pocket. These retirement/nursing homes are predatory as hell. I know its not possible for everyone but if you love your parents, do them a favor and keep them out of these homes.
That isn't a nursing home that's a scam.
I worked for years in a nursing home and I can tell you that it is total bullshit. Everything is the lowest quality at the highest markup. Let me assure you that the staffing at 99% of these places is so low that the residents are waiting 20-30 min to use the restroom and basically live trapped in a bed with little to no assistance.
I worked at a nursing home as a cook, I guess it was a nice one? We had a nutritionist and made like cafeteria food, then chopped half of it up for the people who had problems, then puréed it for the ones who couldn’t feed themselves.
Profit has become a tyrant. We used to make people happy in its name, now we shape everything in its service.
Profit has become a tyrant
Unfortunately, I disagree. I think it's become hero. It shouldn't but it is.
You have understand, 2k of that is just for rent. By the time they get done paying the staff there's not any money left for food. This is actually a public service!
/s
"paying the staff" lmao. I know it's sarcasm, but still. As someone who has worked as a nurse in a shitty home, I can only emphasize the money ain't going to the staff.
I'm not sure the board considers the nurses to be staff... In fact I'm pretty sure that line item has a description reading, "Government Required Equipment".
Is there even any point in getting old. I hope I don't make it that long.
My retirement is dying while training the AI that will replace me
My ex (we broke up a year ago and don't talk) worked as a nurse in an expensive nursing home. Some of the stories she's told me about how they treat staff and even patients are shocking.
Bro they trying to starve them to make more room for new clients
This doesn't look appetizing at all, however the amount doesn't seem that unrealistic for old people.
I'm not sure about that. The veggies are relatively low in calories. The chicken and dumplings would be really high in calories but that's a very small amount.
My best guess is this plate is less than 200-250 calories. We're missing a lot of detail here though. It might not be three equal calorie meals per day. This might not be what your average person gets someone might have just pissed in their Wheaties.
Assuming that's one of three daily meals with equal calories, that's probably about half the calories even someone in total lethargy would need to survive.
The amount is appalling. However, this is my absolute favorite meal because I remember my grandma making it when we would visit and the house would be packed full of family. Chicken (turkey on the day after Thanksgiving), potatoes, carrots, spices, and lots of rolled dumplings. I made it for my kids and they say it's one of their favorites too. I think just because its filling and its a good meal when you have to feed a lot of people. Adults in the dining room, young kids at the counter, and older kids spilling out into the living room.
We call it Glea-sance, I think the word is French (French-Canadian?), maybe part Native. I have no clue how to spell it, I've never seen it written until now. I've tried to spell it phonetically, two syllables, possibly two words since both syllables should be accented. Glea as in 'glea', and sance as in 'seance' without the 'ay' sound. I love it, but I would cry if I was given this portion in a styrofoam tray.
That's horrible. I hope this gets fixed soon.
