Marketing is not in line with reality when it comes down to personal care and attention.
Foodservice has a couple caring ladies but I assume they are trying to fight against a particular ignorant influence. Menu looks better on paper than what is placed in front of the resident.

Unfortunately, there is a ghetto and extremely lazy attitude going on among those 30% and food service folks. Really bad non caring ignorance.
