If you want to work, maintain, change adult diapers, dig dentures out of returned food trays and locate their owners, bath, shave, hair groom, lift and move patients, the list goes on and on for $15./hr, they will hire you immediately. Appears to be bare minimums to you because it's not a spa.

The buildings, maintenance, heating, air conditioning, insurances including liability, food, entertainment, skilled employees, managers benefits and all the incidentals not even mentioned here make the care very expensive. Look at what pro athletes are paid and so called movie/entertainment people, this world is very upside down. As mentioned early, apply to a nursing home and advise us how to run it as a nonprofit entity.

Also, if you are in a nursing home, you won't have to worry about going out for dinner.

Not sure I understand your post. I have spent time in nursing homes, but not as an employee. They had the required number of employees, but they were not first class. In one that I remember, the call bell rang 24/7 because there were not enough staff to respond, but apparently, the Government required the bell. I think nursing homes are very profitable for the owners. But my point is that I don't blame people who want to keep some of their money.
