Mom and Dad, I’ll Do What I Can To Ensure You Can Skip the Nursing Home When You’re All Old and Stuff, I Promise

This is foul:

A lawsuit filed on behalf of an Alzheimer’s disease patient says care at a Mission Viejo home for the elderly was so poor that a rat climbed into the former lawyer’s mouth and died, where it was found by staff.

    Ugh. Just wait for it. The Boomers are getting older as we speak type. Think we’ve got problems now?

    I considered making a lawyer/rat joke, but that seems in bad taste, given the context.

    Eep! That one would be quite near where I live. Nice suburban town, assisted living community which looks, in its web site photos (http://www.paragongardensalf.com/tour.php), more like a place where you’d find a retired lawyer than like a place where that retired lawyer would encounter a rat.
