....nursing homes?....how are they part of depopulation? they are places for the elderly who can not take care of themselves- places where those people are taken care of by rn's, cna's, therapists and so on. If you're thinking about the fact that lots of people die a nursing homes-that's because the majority of them are well- old...you know...old people die...its sad but it happens. No big conspiracy there. What you should be worrying about as far as nursing homes go is how many people place their elderly parent or grandparent in one and than NEVER visit them- it's so sad!
