In this edition of Life Matters, Brian Johnston interviews Joyce Unangst, a paraplegic volunteer and activist.
Joyce has been involved for many years in supporting those who cannot defend themselves in a long-term care setting.
Brian joins Joyce at a local nursing home in the Sacramento County area. Joyce describes the actual life within a nursing home, the abandonment of many individuals, and family members assuming that professional care, paid by the state or insurance, is adequate. But, that care is overworked and often very unprofessional. Institutionalized neglect and abuse has become rampant in America and Joyce explains what you can do about it.
