Central Coast Nursing Center Loses License

Seems like it's time to shut this place down for good as it seems to get worse with each change in ownership. I rescued my mother from the hellhole known as Beverly La Cumbre more than a decade ago. Our seniors deserve much better than this

Human warehousing is yet another scandalous scam that always puts profits before healthcare. Reprehensible.

Taxpayer dollars being wasted by an overpaid state bureaucracy on unnecesary regulation of a valuable service run by upstanding businessmen? For shame! Less taxes! Less regulation! The free market knows best! Don't tread on me!

It's time to clean house. Fire EVERYONE and build a new staff of caring, loving employees, starting from the highest ranking down. There are plenty of men and women in the fields of CNA, RN, LVN, Admin, etc. who would love a job caring for our elderly loved ones.

Eastbeach, are you kidding? You blame this on overregulation by a state bureauacracy? You believe this nursing home was being run by upstanding businessmen?

Further proof that sarcasm is not to be trusted on the Internet, and withers without a visual poke in the ribs:

"buckwheat," you would be absolutely justified in upbraiding "EastBeach" for such callow commentary IF IT WAS SERIOUS. ("Taxpayer dollars being wasted by an overpaid state bureaucracy on unnecesary regulation of a valuable service run by upstanding businessmen?")

Here's some folks tackling the problem head-on:

"The people are calling out for a sarcasm font. We’re going to make it happen.

"Finally, there’s a sarcasm font style: sartalics. Sartalics are reverse italics. They can be applied to any font on any platform."

My mother, who recently passed away in August, lived here for years because she did not have Medi-Care. I was in the process of getting her in a new facility when she took ill this last time. The day my mother was brought to Cottage Hospital the head of Central Coast Nursing Social Services had literally quit and walked out. They couldn't find her legal papers she had filed with them for safe keeping. When I went to her room to get her personal belongings they had been rummaged through. Everything from unopened soda cans to new tennis shoes had been taken.

Stories she told me this last year would frighten anyone. When not able to get to the restroom, she refused to pull the line to get a CNA to change her diapers. She told me that it was a 'deal they had cut' with the CNAs. She never would tell me what the repercussion was if she dared asked to be changed. Another time I asked her why she wasn't taking one of her pills. She told me it was a pill to be taken two hours later.

Sartalics! What a great idea.

Yep, nothing is lost on binky, my previous post was most definitely intended to be sarcastic. I'll try to be more tongue-in-cheek next time.
