Lake Worth Beach nursing home workers protest for higher wages
"The workers' union says higher pay will lead to better patient care, though many nursing home workers are not fully vaccinated against COVID-19.Each year, tens of thousands of nursing home residents are seriously injured or die in facilities that promise to care for them. Our mission is to stop the abuse and end the cycle driven by negligence and greed. Anyone who abuses a senior citizen in a nursing home or assisted living facility needs to be held accountable for their sinister actions."
Higher wages might help eradicate the abuse but nothing is guaranteed. "Staff members that are frustrated, exhausted, or manipulative may harm the residents they’re supposed to care for. A 2020 study from the WHO found that over 64% of nursing home staff members admitted to committing some form of abuse or neglect." [NursingHomeabuse.org]
If you need to have a loved one admitted to a nursing home, be sure you live nearby so that you can monitor their care. I will never forget when my grandfather was in a Lake Worth Nursing Home on 6th Avenue South and I found him on the cold floor, no cover under or over him. I was told they were planning on making his bed.
Read about it... and see who showed up to spout off his opinion.

Seems as if Omari has Chris Persaud to keep him in the news leading up to Tuesday.
Yeah, Chis used to have the Lake Worth Commission as part of his beat years back.
Omari has some good aggressive people behind him to continue to get his name out everywhere!
Nursing homes are horrible for the most part. Condemning people to death
