I have heard about multiple nursing homes with only 2 people on staff, and you need ONE to be monitoring the nurse calls at all times, and you also need TWO people to move a patient. That is THREE PEOPLE but they only staff TWO.
When a 110lb nursing assistant can't keep a 300 pound Alzheimer's patient from falling in the bathroom, their license is threatened because they are supposed to have two people lifting residents. But they know there aren't two people.
They also happily take on memory care patients into assisted living facilities, which is illegal.
Can confirm.
