As long as long term care is part of the for profit money care system, this WILL always happen. The residents/patients/profit units are not the focus for the owners of the homes. How much revenue the body generates is the reason. And when the profit unit exhaust its revenue stream i.e. Medicare. Then dump them into the State or County shitty system until they die. Of course poor whites blacks and other POC start in the shitty State system. I worked a nursing home in my college days and swore my grandparents and parents would never be in one of those hell holes, and they didn't.
