Mary Adelaide Mendelson, author of "Tender Loving Greed: How the Incredibly Lucrative Nursing Home 'Industry' Is Exploiting American's Old People and Defrauding Us All," discusses the state of nursing homes and the elderly. Mendelson discusses the isolation the elderly feel in nursing homes and how nursing homes have turned into a big business with little to no protection for the elderly. Studs plays "Hello in There" - John Prine (1971).

Elma Greisel is the executive director for the National Citizens' Coalition for Nursing Home Reform. Greisel talks about the continuing struggles of older people's civil rights when placed in a nursing home. She also talks about the abuse and neglect older people suffer when in a nursing home. We as a society, expect the best quality of care for those in the nursing homes, says Greisel, and yet the nursing home employees are not paid very well.
