1. They (residents)are so incredibly vulnerable. What defense do they have?

My SIL is in her late 90's, is blind, deaf and unable to walk - wheelchair bound. Plus, post Covid, she has sunk into a dementia state.

Just imagine, if she weren't in a wonderful Home run by the LIttle Sisters of the Poor, what might happen to her?

I may not agree, politically with the LSOP but I admire them tremendously for the work they do with people of moderate income (she contriubures her pension and SS checks to them) in return for total care and all medical visits, etc.
