What Germany can teach the world about healthy aging - Lemmy Português

This does not reflect the general reality of German nursing homes at all. My experience with them is that most of them are just very grim places where old people are put to die quickly. The average time an elderly person lives in a nursing home in Germany is 2 years. That alone says a lot. It’s a profitable industry driven by overworked low-income workers. And it’s very expensive, even for the most basic of nursing homes. Having witnessed these horrors personally it makes me angry to read propaganda like this. Sure, there might be places where elderly are treated like this, but only if you can afford it. The vast majority of nursing homes are hell-holes. Germany can’t teach the world anything about good care for elderly people.
