Candidly, hadn't given it much thought. That changed due to an recent article in Time. Can someone with dementia or Alzheimer’s consent to a sexual act? This even lead to a prosecution of a spouse who had sex with his spouse. A jury in Iowa acquitted him. No doubt this topic will, and should, be addressed.

Nursing Home Costs (and Abuse)
Almost 1 in 4 nursing home patients suffered harm as a result of their (lack of ) medical care in a Nursing Home. Slightly more than 1 in 10 also experienced injury. (Highlighting a report released by the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of the Inspector General, as published by The New York Times on April 14, 2015).
Why? Well, the study, report and article once again draw focus to profits over people. Poignantly sad, depressing and wrong.
