There’s no struggle. People want to do this physically punishing and mentally taxing work, but the pay is low and without benefits, you use your own transportation and devices, buy your own fuel, tires, maintenance, clock-in and note apps are intrusive AF, you pay for your own certifications, and heaven forbid you get hurt, because these places delay turning in Workers’ Comp, it’s slow to be approved, then you get the hellscape, piecemeal, contracted services, and if you’re still fortunate enough to have a job after that, they cut hours to nothing, or suddenly can’t find you suitable clients.
I personally think that funding has been cut to force people into “skilled nursing facilities,” owned by holding companies, that they can not afford, so they end up on Medicaid, if they qualify, which requires the recipient to sign over their home to the state, who then sells it to pay what Medicaid doesn’t cover, often to, wait for it… The same holding companies.
tldr: neoliberalism
Nailed it. But people get all sorts of crazy ideas without spelling it out.
either that or totally ignore it. lol
The same seniors who hoarded all the money from younger generations?
Same ones that torture caregivers for funsies, just like they used to after church with the kids working at the diner. Minimum wage ain’t worth that.
Just have the poor ones look after the rich
