A main reason I don't play nursing homes or assisted living facilities is the sleaze factor. I'm a member and benefactor of a group called Kentuckians for Nursing Home Reform and the data I have on "for profit" homes is shocking and disgusting.

I've been a primary caregiver for inlaws for over 15 years and have been dealing with these guys for about 10. You can't believe what I've seen.

I recently agreed to play an assisted living facility with the stipulation that the pay go to Bluegrass Animal Welfare League, another group I support that does free spay/neuters for the pets of those who can't afford it. the home came to me many times over the years and I decided to do it for BAWL.

No pay. Excuses about no funds, changing administration, etc.

I sued them for $150.00 and would do it again in a heartbeat. They paid when they got the legal notice. Thing is, when you dig just a little, most "for profit" places are like this.Statistics don't lie.

I simply can't be involved with the vast majority of these sleazebags! It's a national tragedy!
