The pandemic has laid bare the deficiencies of nursing homes across developed countries
Total deaths in the American financial capital currently hover around 20,000, leading all other states as the US tops all other countries with a staggering 74,000 deaths. nursing home deaths could be 40 percent of the total fatalities while those facilities are home to less than 1 percent of the country’s population.
But experts doubt the accuracy of the reported fatalities regarding nursing homes across Europe and the US as many older citizens have been found dead in their beds in Spanish care facilities and makeshift morgues in New Jersey. Professor Harrington thinks that the way the nursing home business has been conducted in the US and some other places has facilitated “a disaster in the making.”
Harrington and other experts think that profit-seeking owners of nursing homes have mostly been concerned about increasing their income at the expense of residents, cutting essential staff and employing people with less medical skills and low wages. that three-quarters of American nursing homes were short on staff before the deadly pandemic.
