Topic Proposal #3

Nursing Homes need to be reformed in terms of the care and services they provide in their facilities.

Topics:
  • Evidence that there is a problem: quantitative and qualitative information
  • Causes of the problem: inspection system is broken, an understaffing of nurses, private investment companies are more concerned with the profit they make than how the residents are treated
  • Possible solution (still debating if there is a better one): parents sign contracts with children to take care of them when they get older and need help, also local governments take charge of the homes
  • Results of the solution: lower ratio of staff to residents, governments will have more money to spend on each resident, and nursing homes will not be seen so much as a business but more as a duty
