Why are nursing homes so awful?

I honestly feel like part of it is the low pay and I will shout that from the rooftops. When jobs don't pay well they tend to attract a lower quality candidate (not all the time but many times). As a result nursing homes are awful because of the employees that make it that way.

Nursing home has a different culture. I recently started working there as an in service coordinator and Infection Preventionist. Today when I expressed to my Don how it is unsafe that one nurse was supervisor, medication nurse and covering the whole hospital, she told me that I wear my heart on my sleeve. Go figure. When your leader thinks that way, do you think that she will hold the owners accountable?

So many reasons! There's no way the work can be gratifying, and the pay is usually pretty low. The people working there tend to be those who couldn't find a better opportunity, so there's a lot of problems with morale and resentment. It's just a bad scenario all around. I'm sure some are better than others, but in general they're just bad.
