When investors put profits ahead of resident care, vulnerable seniors are the ones who pay the price.
A recent NPR investigation found that real estate investment trusts now own a significant share of nursing homes across the country.
When too much money flows out to landlords and outside investors, fewer resources are left for the bedside care residents truly need. One peer-reviewed study found that registered nurse staffing actually decreased in years 2 and 3 after REIT investment.
Warning signs that a facility may be cutting corners on resident safety:
Frequent falls or unexplained injuries
Long waits when residents press their call lights
Pressure sores, dehydration, or sudden weight loss
High staff turnover and poor communication with families
Rushed or unsafe discharge planning
