Does not surprise me. My experience with @AtriaSL Their mission is to extract as much $$ on their residents as possible and spend as little $$ on their residents as possible.

Its too easy to blame the caregiver for these Atria Senior Living deaths. Was there any investigation of whether the @AtriaSL corporate culture led to this tragedy? Were Atria executives held accountable? I hope an overworked/underpaid caregiver isnt taking the fall for c-suite
UPDATE: Alisia Rivera Mendoza,38,who worked at @atriasl facility,pleads no contest to elder abuse for pouring cleaning fluid into juice pitcher,w/another worker serving it to 3 residents, killing Trudy Maxwell & Peter Schroder, both 93, per @SanMateoCoDA @SanMateoPD. 3rd survives

.@Cubs with Game 3 Win. So nice to exorcise the 1984 playoff loss to the @Padres. #RyneSandberg would have enjoyed it. @JoeBalagtas @geri_doc @SlangsOnSports @CubsNationCHI bleacherreport.com/articles/…

Looking forward to the @AmerAcadPeds NCE in #Denver this month. 25 years ago the #AAP Fall meeting was in #Chicago & #RyneSandberg was signing autographs on the exhibit floor. So glad I got a chance to meet him at the @AAPexperience. @Cubs

Concerning well-researched story @ProPublica shows VA health system having much more difficulty recruiting doctors + nurses. Marked increase in rejection of job offers. Our Veterans deserve the best care. Worrisome if best MDs/RNs dont want to work at VA

PCA is must watch television right now. Every time he takes the field; stop what you’re doing and just watch. He has whatever “IT” is.
