But who is willing to do hard physical work of lifting the bed ridden, out of bed, cleaning them--shit included, changing the sheets, feeding, etc., etc. Some of it is probably skilled licensed labor--pt and ot, nurses, and more I don't know about--but a lot of it is hard and "unskilled" (we all know that it's skilled, but the skill is not recognized) and exactly the sort of thing that immigrants are willing to do, and americans wont.

And can anyone comment on 3,000? That seems like a hell of a lot, but I don't have any real experience in judging in this kind of work.

Well Fiore is just one "Joisey" accent from being a Mafia wife. (Hell I'm surprised she hasn't been arrested on a "Real Housewives" franchise yet.)
