Two Elderly Patients Attacked by Mice in Nursing Home
By admin on May 1, 2009 in Care
Two elderly nursing home patients have been attacked by mice.
This is deplorable and it's what happens when bureaucrats control how our elderly live.
I'm not minimizing mice problems.
I'll be honest with you and admit I'm a landlady and real estate investor. I've dealt with this problem more times than I'd like to admit in our properties.
Mice are around and they'll quickly be everywhere if we don't get rid of them fast…
That's the key. We must be proactive.
But this story from Australia is heartbreaking, because the mice were not destroyed.
No elderly person should have to endure what these two senior men went through.
