In exchange for receiving taxpayer money through Medicare and Medicaid, nursing homes must follow the safety rules that were enacted to protect and promote the health of our most vulnerable and elderly adults. Many of these individuals made tremendous sacrifices for this country and fought during time of war. Nursing home corporations owe them more than the substandard care, and in some cases non-existent care, that is provided.
