POS-all of them.
This I would love to read since I’m not a subscriber. I hope the punishment fits their crime. So heartbreaking for the family of the resident, she didn’t deserve to pass that way.
.15 cents a day is not worth it to be able to not only read ALL of these stories but then be able to accurately comment on them ??
To see all the information on how the family is reacting here ?
This was your comment.
“I hope the punishment fits the crime”
By the way. It doesn’t !
The site is already covered in ads. I don’t think a subscription model is necessary.
that someone, anyone, should work for Free ??
You as a reader/consumer of this content, this LOCAL Information that you are not getting elsewhere, should not have to pay for it ?!?
Your argument that “others” should pay so you don’t have to is ridiculous on its face. Legacy newspapers always and still do charge for the “paper” even though they a chocked full of adds.
Next time you are at Menards near the register look for the Sunday Chicago Tribune on a stand for sale. Last I looked it was over $5.
And no access to past stories. No archives at your fingertips.
If your argument is that the “internet” is Free, then go ahead and find any of this there. You won’t. And until someone else comes along to Compete with KCE this is the price you pay.
.15 cents a day to read every that’s wrong in Kenosha.
.15 cents ? I would pay more
that is cold-blooded murder
Horrible people I worked 3rd shift as a RN and made sure all residents were safe. Had great aides.
When did they have RN’s on ANY shift working the floor????
They have NO RNs at Parkside Manor. They have an LPN who is their wellness director, and she is first shift. Third shift is nothing but “caregivers.”
This is such a very small price to pay in legal sentences. This entire scenario was preventable, and many walked away with NO accountability, i.e. administrators and executive administration; THEY KNEW THE PROBLEMS. This family paid with blood, the owner walked away to buy more property and rape people of their life savings…
Imagine being in a facility and your fate is in the hands of these 3 idiots.
Its at all nursing homes. Low paid, low impulse control, animals work in these environments.
They could care less. Mighty fine job by D.A. and judge. Who was that anyway?
Parkside is not a nursing home. It is assisted living, where there is no state requirement for a RN. They only have employed LPNs.
Bullshit, these fools are no more than CNAs…definitely NOT LPNs.
They have no CNAs. They have caregivers who are people Parkside trains themselves.
If that was my mom, left outside to freeze to death, there would be no need for these court proceedings, just saying.
What kind of fucked up people are these homes hiring??
They will literally hire ANYONE.
No background checks, no drug tests, many have police records. Neglect, abuse, assaults have gone on in these places for decades. Time to investigate all of them locally starting with Brookside.
