chainedsoulz12 karma

My gf does this same exact job except she also takes care of them(help bathe them, get them dressed, w.e else they need assistance with) She says people normally die in a trio. You basically take care of them till they die, and empty their rooms once that happens (among other things). She works in one that has two 16 story buildings and shifts between em. 99.9% of the people who get taken care of there do not leave alive. She told me one of the saddest parts of the job is seeing elderly people just thrown into retirement homes by their children and basically forgotten about.

Yeah it is, sadly a lot of people just don't have the space and time to take care of their elders. To put them in one of these homes is expansive though.
