That single broccoli makes me wheep.

[–] taigaman@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Oh no. Please don't tell me that's what that diseased morsel in the top left corner is.

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.

[–] melonpunk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

That’s not food. That’s sadness in polystyrene.

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.

Unfortunately, I disagree. I think it's become hero. It shouldn't but it is.

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.

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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.

People leaving USA for cheaper healthcare. Maybe we need to leave for better long term care.

[–] Piecemakers3Dprints@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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. 🤌🏼

That's horrible. I hope this gets fixed soon.
