From Setting The Nursing Home On Fire:
Nordstrom’s is a chain of upscale department stores famous for their customer service. They only have one rule for employees: “Use your best judgment”.
[...]
Residents would be able to participate in the activities of their choosing, and it wouldn’t just be groups like church and bingo. Nurses wouldn’t have superfluous charting, aides wouldn’t be assigned useless tasks like putting ice in water pitchers that everyone knows are never drank out of. Aides would pretty much run the place, in fact, and nobody would have a problem with it.
Indeed.
