  1. 94 years old and still eating Cheetos? He could probably drink cleaning fluid and survive that, too.

  2. I know for a fact from experience that senior living/memory care facilities cover up many mistakes/mysterious deaths with the elderly. You need to put cameras in their room and go there everyday to make sure your loved one is safe and being taken care of. It’s very scary!

  3. So, I've been maced by a cop. At very close range. That chemical agent has a SHU (Scoville heat unit) rating of 2 million or more, and it is essentially pure capsaicin suspended in oil so it clings to the skin and causes more irritation.
    That being said, I didn't have any burn lesions. Not a single one.
    Hot cheetos are obviously not even comparable.
    This place should be shut down immediately.

  4. And Nursing home is when who don’t have a family or visit them with the elderly rest place police should not go there because if they dare arrest them i will kick them out

  5. In Clement Minor In Milwaukee Wisconsin this is a program with the elderly people who is in Nursing home without a family or with the Family even thou they went to the Chapel 💒 serving Mass inside doors they do fun stuff activities and many more and fun sheet and doing laundry 🧺

  6. Howtf do you accidentally give cleaning fluid??? Wtf

  7. Well, a simple autopsy will clear up any discrepancy as to the source of the elderly gentleman's "indigestion." R.I.P. 🫂🌸🌺🌻

  8. They thought cleaning fluid was fruit punch??? Wtf how?!

  9. I think I will take care of myself, before I am in that condition

  10. please go to your local store or costco and buy up all the bottled water and send it to the people of Jackson Mississippi who are without water for weeks now.

  11. Why are there so many off topic comments on this page 🙄🤔. I would be hard pressed to know how eating flaming hot Cheetos would put burn marks around the Man's mouth. Own up to the mistake. Lying about it makes you seem horrible 😐

  12. Ever partied with a CNA? it'll make you not wanna send your grandparents to a nursing home. Mostly because alot them PARTY if you know what I mean? Gotta stay up for a week and get that overtime for a ball I g.

  14. а все остальное произошло сразу после этого

  15. заплатить надо за работу

  16. Ну, так-то я стал говорить в комнате, что надо вернуться и вернуть шоколад. Выдали ейй работу, я сказал, что Андрей может решить задачи, но за шоколадку, например. Он решил. Она не отдала. Я поехал после заграницу, купил купил соль и шоколад. ей отдал. Богера пригласил

  17. What a horrible way to go. You people have to understand these people dont care about your loved ones. Most all did not want to be assisting old people when they thought of a career as a kid. This is basically a McDonalds job to the workers and the company just cares about having no vacant rooms. The only reason the place cares is now it has a vacancy and a lawsuit on the way.

  18. This sounds like some sicko serial killer! Wth

  19. Should be easy to determine cause of death with autopsy.

  20. This is an attack on seniors

  21. What a horrible way to die, regardless. Care for your elderly at home folks.

  22. If you don't live to be elderly, you won't end up in these cattle yards.

  23. It doesn’t matter how much money you have…and how nice of a place your family member is in… these places are not safe for the elderly. There is no oversight. Workers are paid minimum wage to take care of our most vulnerable population. Most of them have zero education past high school. (Other than being a nurse assistant or caregiver, which requires a very limited amount of training.. I would not go as far as to call it education) I’m sure there are some good workers that truly care about the residents but there are not many.

  24. Sue them, and jail the liar. Atria is killing people with cleaning fluid. They can deny all they want, the autopsy will show the truth.

  25. I keep on getting $380,000 every week from a new trading platforms in town.

  26. It doesn't matter how much you pay, many of these Dump Sites for the elderly are places to store the old folks until they die. They are ignored, abused, and neglected. The more of us who are aging will end up in these warehouses. I volunteer at nursing homes and hospitals. and the things I have seen will give me nightmares the rest of my life.

  27. I would rather cook and clean, and take care of myself no matter how old I am, the dailys of your own worths, is something everyone needs, and again with the vegitation. No reason why anyone would pay as much as a house payment, for something so sad and depresant. Nothing gray as baking your own food. and having dinner. and Btw you really should be able to ride your bike there. Same as locations of your schools. Pay and recieve as much or as little as you provide. Heartbeat and skip aways.

  28. 9 of the top 10 states with the highest percentage of households experiencing hunger are the Republican-led states of West Virginia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Alabama, Kentucky, Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee.

  29. 100th time just this year. Honesty is rewarded, not shamed.
