Nursing Homes Are Not Always Up To Standard
As a physician I find the state of some of our nursing homes to be quite inadequate. It’s sad to think that at the end of life, our precious elders are kept in sometimes difficult surroundings, The fire in a nursing home in Quebec and the tragic death of its occupants led me to release this song that I wrote after visiting one such institution. I hope that the politicians and the people who manage nursing homes will better protect the residents from such a disaster in the future.
