That's really the end of it. People tell themselves different but all homes are terrible. All homes are full of underpaid employees who don't give a shit with terrible care.
I've worked in prisons and every single one has better care than these homes. I'm not joking. It's disgusting. My wife spent time visiting 3 or 4 different places in the area and even the high dollar home for the well off was shocking to see. I worked in a level 5 prison for a decade and the inhumanity and lack of care in these places made my soul want to vomit. Inmates don't deserve to end their lives like this.
The process of death, for most, robs you of your humanity. For most people it's a far off thing we don't have to think about but it's very real. You slowly lose all the tiny liberties we all take for granted. If you want to really experience gratitude go visit one of these places for 4 hours a month. Regularly. The people there deserve to have someone that does because no one does.
