  I used to work at this location.  This company is AWFUL.
context: This happened at two different places around a week apart the first was a 93 year old. Also both places are owned by the same company. >
  
  Residential facilities, man. Theyve all got corruption in them >
  
  It looks like a low level CNA or housekeeper will have to take the fall for this, while management skates. Life in assisted living facilities is quite a bit different than the sales brochure. >
  
  Responsibility? It’s the managements job to assign responsibility to someone else. >
  
  Did someone miss the obvious joke/sarcasm? >
  
  These places like to impress the families with the size of the chandelier in the lobby, but neglect to tell them that the people who actually take care of their parents are being paid $12 an hour. >
  
  In some places CNAs make minimum wage, and are subject to mandatory doubles. >
  
  I'll go out on a limb and say the brand is Fabuloso >

  We need to take better care of seniors in this country and that means paying the people who staff these nursing homes a hell of a lot more than we do now. I don’t know why anyone is surprised when stuff like this happens. Americans are so far removed from the death process that I think they have no idea what these places are really like. It’s criminal if you ask me. >
  
  Being under paid and under staffed is a huge problem for a lot of these places. I work in home health and go into a lot of these facilities. There are absolutely some benefits that can come from living in an ALF, but it's critically important for family members to not only do their research when looking into assisted living but also continue to be an active part of their family member's care. 
  Senior care is such a complex and difficult thing to navigate for so many families. >
  
  Stories like these are why my mother and i cared for my father at home instead of letting the hospitals send him to rehabs or nursing homes for the last 5 years of his life. It was the only way to insure he would never be abused or mistreated. Even when we had visiting care providers, I would never leave them alone with my dad until we knew them well enough. 
  It also gave us the ability to give him the death he wanted, at home with his family and dogs on the 17th. >
  
  Honestly I think more people should die at home surrounded by loved ones in their own bed. So many people die in nursing homes, or hospitals instead of surrounded by loved ones in a place of comfort. My aunt had terminal cancer and for the final years of her life she opted to stay at home and refused all medical care and treatment. She had battled cancer for a very long time she even defeated breast cancer twice but it would always come back somewhere else. Eventually it spread through her whole body and she resigned herself to a peaceful death at her home, in her own bed, with her only child there taking careful care of her. Sure there were nurses that would occasionally visit but still she was at home and her daughter lived with her and stayed by her side. >
  
  I agree for the most part, but I also want to say that not every family can handle that. Some people need more attention and skilled medical care than a family or even a home health nurse can provide. Some families cannot shoulder the emotional costs of bringing a beloved family member home to die in their care, or do not have the means, particularly low-income families. I’ve been party to some very respectful, peaceful passings in both a skilled nursing facility and a hospital. The availability of hospice facilities and in-hospital end of life care is not necessarily doomed to be an emotionally antiseptic experience. >
  
  Okay I agree with this. Like for example i am the youngest and personally I dont think I'd be able to bear that kind of emotional burden my cousin did with my aunt. I am aware that if my parents are in that situation I am not the one for that. Luckily there's 4 of us, 3 girls and 1 boy so one of us girls will probably be it. I am pretty squeamish about death and a lotta medical stuff. I dont even like needles. >
  
  It’s good to be realistic with your own limitations. Being a caregiver for a loved one is hard, even when the more difficult aspects of it wouldn’t bother you in a less personal setting. It wouldn’t serve you or your family if you had to bear the weight of caregiving when it is immensely psychologically taxing, in addition to the emotional aspect of preparing for loss of a loved one. You’d be surprised what you can handle when you’re in such a situation, I will say, but it shouldn’t be expected of you. Good on you for recognizing that your best support would come in other forms. >
  
  I also have ADHD which is classified as a disability and GAD so yeah I ain't the one for that task. I am however trustworthy and somewhat responsible. My sister told me my parents are planning to leave their house to me and I wouldn't be surprised if its us two youngest girls handling much of the administrative side of that.
  Even though I'm only 29, my parents just turned 70 and its something real to think about. >
  
  If I was 94 in a facility like that, I would have chugged at the first opportunity. >
  
  Are just going to skip the part that they tried to blame it on flaming hot cheetos 
  Maybe it should be part of the next commercial flaming hot cheetos they,re killer >
  
  Why was the detergent in a pitcher? Put it in a proper container and label it! It takes 2 minutes. >
  
  This is basic SDS info, too. Label your containers with the contents, with the relevant SDS info readily available. >
  
  Exactly!! I had to take a class on this stuff when I was in the Navy, and then every year, just in case it slipped my mind. >
  
  Same, only I was in healthcare. I worked at a hospital at the bedside as a nursing assistant. Every year, same continuing education modules. SDS, fire safety, electrical safety, weather preparedness, HIPAA compliance, and avoiding phishing/ransomware scams on the company network. Each one drilled into our heads with quizzes that required 100% correct answers to pass. Our continued employment was directly tied to the completion of these and other medically-relevant modules, yearly. For every single employee, down to the front desk people. Even the volunteers were required to do them.
  But then again, when I worked at a nursing home as a CNA, I never had any sort of onboarding like that, and they didn’t even see the need in getting me certified in CPR and Basic Life Support, so I suppose the bar is raised a bit high here. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ >
  
  This highlights the worker shortage and lack of support for its residents. Source: I go to a sites living facilities often for my work. >
  
  Can anyone find the investigation from the state? I've been digging and they are public record
  EDIT did some digging and found the facility record and i think this is the case report which is equally as sparse >
  
  yep that's the place.
