If this happens, the effects will be instantly recognizable. Not only for us, the employees they will inevitably lay off in favor of cheaper replacements, but for the residents who will feel the effects of corner-cutting and cost-saving. Nursing facilities should be dedicated to providing the best care they can to the ones they serve, not to turning a profit.
James supported: Stop the Privatization of West Virginia's Veterans Nursing FacilityTo the vets who have been at the facility for a while the staff is like their family. Staff treats the residents like family as well. This is their home and they don’t need change. They given enough for the country.
Jane supported: Stop the Privatization of West Virginia's Veterans Nursing FacilityMy brother in law is a resident of this health care facility. He is a navy veteran and he is treated with respect and dignity by the entire staff. His monthly rate of pay to the facility is based on his Navy retirement and social security. If this facility is made private this will no longer be true and residential rates will undoubtedly increase by an exorbitant amount. West Virginia has other health care facilities, just like the one in Clarksburg. My question is why is this one particular facility being targeted for sale to a private entity? Why is it necessary to balance the West Virginia state budget on the backs of our Veterans??? Our Veterans are not political pawns!
Barbara supported: Stop the Privatization of West Virginia's Veterans Nursing FacilityAs one who helps take care of these Vets, I find it highly disrespectful to what these men and women did for their country to turn it into a privatized nursing home. It's a slap in the face of every veteran,past and present, to even consider this as an option. They fought for their country and some even paid the ultimate price and they deserve to be taken care of since it was their sacrifice that allows certain tight asses the luxury of sitting in a comfy office making decisions that take away the care and necessary funds needed to take care of those who served, some of which were not given the option to join they were just thrust into service. Do the right thing and take care of our vets.
Scott supported: Stop the Privatization of West Virginia's Veterans Nursing FacilityI’ve never understood why a service member who losses a limb, doesn’t get 100%, it takes years to learn how to do stuff you could normally do with two appendages, it took years to learn how to use those two appendages.
John supported: Support the SERVE Act: Ensure Justice and Benefits for All Veterans NowYou are important and we need you! I've watched several brothers end their lives over something we should be able to get help with. I know when I heard these words out of someone importants mouth it made me want more.
Britt supported: Prioritize Mental Health Awareness Amid American Military VeteransI run a non profit focussing on helping veterans transiton from military life to civilian life though fitness and peer to peer support. We are `12 years old and going strong, the only way we could have helped service over 5,000 vets and their families was with the direct help of the VA recreation coordinators whose care and attention to the vets are saving lives daily. We need them!!
David supported: Take care of our Vets: Exempt Rec Therapy from potential layoffs in Dept. of V.A.These men and women have fought for our freedoms and protect our allies and others' innocence. At the very least, we can care for them
Kelly supported: Take care of our Vets: Exempt Rec Therapy from potential layoffs in Dept. of V.A.I worked for over a year at a VA Hospital and saw first hand the positive benefits Recreation Therapy had on the Veterans every day lives. Doctors and Nurses treated the Veterans, but the Recreation therapist provided the personal connection.
Tricia supported: Take care of our Vets: Exempt Rec Therapy from potential layoffs in Dept. of V.A.You’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
