Pay a living wage, VDH too relaxed
 

As a CNA I've seen all of this. The state or VDH need to interview multiple RANDOM residents at once when a complaint is made. Of course management will smile and take a detour from the most disgusting areas of the facilities and show you the mute patient with a clean room and no mold. Take from the million dollar facilities and pay your CNAs, nurses a living wage.
