These numbers scare the hell out of me!

Many of you have been with me in this fight for years. You know I'm doing this because I saw my mum suffer, and I don't want any other mums or loving families to go through what we went through.
This is our future, people. If the government does not mandate skilled staff to resident ratios, we will be in this boat too!
Please, can you do one thing today and share this petition? We need to do all we can to help our elderly in care, and for our future.
