Thank you, Mr. Virani.
My question is for Mr. Lake.
Mr. Lake, it's good to see you here. I've grown up around old folks homes all my life. My mother was a cook in one and my aunts were care aides and nurses aides. I used to get babysat for 45 minutes to an hour between my parents' shifts, so I knew a lot about it when I was in my younger years.
What I've heard from you is the concern that, one, there is a lack of funding and, two, there is a lack of care aides and other staffers. There is an acute shortage here.
Here's what I would like to know. When a private care facility doesn't have the staff, do they still maintain the same amount of patients or do they have to reduce the amount of patients to make sure the staff-to-patient ratio is maintained?
