I like the Mother Jones quote to which Mr. Taylor referred, "Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living." It is very important. He described the impact on the residents and the staff and the relatives of the staff: "You have no idea how awful it is - it's horrific." As to what was happening at the time, what feedback was Sage Advocacy getting from residents and their families, specifically relating to that period when, as Mr. Daly has described, nursing homes were being flooded with patients but starved of staff at the same time?
