IF IT SMELLS, TURN AROUND AND WALK OUT



Sunday is a popular day to visit nursing homes or assisted living facilities. Caveat: The institutions are on their best beahavior, they know you'll be coming.


Stop in during the week, when you're least expected. When you visit any assisted living or nursing facility for yourself, or even if you’re helping a friend, if it smells the minute you walk through the lobby, don’t waste your time. LEAVE. There is no excuse for foul smells. It means the staff is not adequately caring for the patients, changing briefs, cleaning messes, preventing bedsores. Don’t waste your time, and in my opinion, share your experience with all your friends. Places like that don’t deserve to have patients.
