It sounds like this change could make nursing homes a more pleasant place to live and work.

I wish my grandmother could have had this experience. She was at a "better" nursing home and it was a total nightmare. A postage stamp room, that was shared with another person. The staff continually gave her a shower right after she'd just had her hair done. The residents sat in chairs just staring at the nursing stations. For $4000 a month it felt like a total rip off.

Daily Horoscope for December 15

Virgo

You're in a very sensitive frame of mind today and are acutely aware of what other people are going through. So if someone is having a bad time, you'll want to do what you can to help. However, it's important to accept that you may not be able to do a single thing. If you persist in trying to help, it will be because you're uncomfortable with the situation and want to feel better.
