Those of us in the long-term care profession have been struggling for years to do more with less. |

Why would your residents be sicker than ever before?
Hospitals are discharging patients (the elderly/disabled) to nursing homes much sicker than they used to. It happens all the time. Patients you used to see only in intensive care units are now being cared for in nursing homes; some even in private homes. It all has to do with reimbursement issues. The faster a hospital gets you out of a hospital, the more money that goes into the hospital's pocket.
