I took care of a woman with a colostomy bag. It was horrid for her. I
would rather die than have one. NO WAY!
And finding a nursing home that would do colostomy bags was something
else.
When she was placed in a nursing home after breaking her leg (post
surgical
care) they never changed her colostomy bag.

Poor woman ! Thought things like that only happened in the UK.

Sad to say, nursing home hell-holes are not that uncommon in the
US. Nursing homes are "regulated" by the states, but many of the
state regulating agencies are underfunded and understaffed, or
incompetent or corrupt, just like the low-end of the nursing homes.

That was good of you to take her home until you found her another place .

Yes indeed!
