by Mere Davis When our loved ones reach a time in their life when they can not care for themselves and we are incapable of caring for them, we put our trust in others and pray that they will be provided the best care available. Unfortunately, the research shows that may not always be the case. There will be roughly 3 million nursing home patients by 2030.
