00:04All right.
00:04So this right here is our receptionist area here.
00:07And then this is the kitchen that we prepare all the food.
00:10And then this is the dining area for the resident.
00:12OK.
00:13All right.
00:14Oh, yeah.
00:15Oh, here.
00:17Hey.
00:18Here's Jeremy and Leah.
00:19Hey, how you doing?
00:20This is Simone Carter.
00:21She's over a lot of the nursing homes here in the area.
00:24And she also is over in Brushington over hospice.
00:28That's right.
00:29Thank you so much for agreeing to meet with us, Ms. Simone.
00:32Oh, girl, please.
00:33I'm always very agreeable when there's a check involved.
00:37Yeah, you know, so about that, we've
00:39been discussing your fee.
00:40And we are a small facility.
00:43Oh, you're a small facility.
00:45Yeah.
00:45Oh.
00:46Yeah, yes, ma'am.
00:47So we were hoping that we could negotiate a lower fee.
00:50Oh, look, a little church love.
00:52Huh?
00:53A lower fee?
00:54Church love?
00:55Negotiate?
00:56You hilarious.
00:58I was serious, Ms. Simone.
01:00I know.
01:01That's why I'm so tickled.
01:02Black folk always want to hook up.
01:04Oh.
01:05Not going to happen.
01:07My fee is my fee, boo boo.
01:10OK.
01:11So no more love to give.
01:14I cannot pay my mortgage company with love.
01:17Oh.
01:18I'm sorry.
01:19I'm with Tina Turner on this one.
01:20Tina Turner?
01:21Yes, honey.
01:22What's love got to do with it?
01:24OK, but look like, hey, guys, look like we're just going to have to agree up on a fee.
01:29Mm-hmm.
01:30Thank you, Ms. Carter.
01:31You're welcome.
01:31Hallelujah.
01:33OK.
01:34I mean, well, can we get started?
01:35We sure can.
01:38What do you need, Ms. Carter?
01:39I need my check.
01:41I need my check.
01:42Oh.
01:43Right now.
01:45Didn't you just say you wanted to get started right now?
01:48Oh.
01:49I...
01:50I...
01:50I did.
01:52OK.
01:52I'll wait.
01:54Oh.
01:54OK.
01:55Now?
01:56Yeah.
01:57Right now?
01:58Right now.
01:59OK.
02:00Oh.
02:01Checkbook.
02:01Mm-hmm.
02:02Spell your first name for me.
02:04S-I-M-O-N-E.
02:06And that's Carter.
02:07Hold the Y.
02:08Oh.
02:10Hmm.
02:10Hmm.
02:12OK.
02:15So, here you go.
02:17Glory.
02:18So, can we get started now?
02:20We sure can.
02:21Because now, I am officially your elder care consultant.
02:25All right.
02:25How can I help?
02:26Remember I told you about our resident that got lost?
02:28Yes, and thank God you found him.
02:30Yes.
02:31Yes.
02:31So, we really need to get this place safe and secure.
02:34Mm-hmm.
02:35OK.
02:35When's your inspection?
02:37Uh...
02:38It's next week.
02:39Wow.
02:40But you did not give me a lot of time.
02:43Yeah.
02:43Well, we just realized we needed some help.
02:45Well, I can look around here and see that you're going to need a whole lot of help.
02:48Oh.
02:49Just about looking, huh?
02:51Absolutely.
02:53What...
02:54What...
02:54What we missing?
02:55Well, I noticed the wrong locks on the doors.
02:57OK.
02:58Unopened windows.
03:00There's an absence of an updated alarm system.
03:03There's no laser alarm.
03:04The monitoring in case a resident tries to escape.
03:07I can go on and on.
03:09OK.
03:09Well, my grandpa suggested that we put padlocks on the door so Reginald can't get out.
03:14Padlocks.
03:15Why is that always everyone's first solution?
03:18Oh, you people kill me.
03:20Cora?
03:21Huh?
03:21Why you call her again?
03:23Babe, you know what?
03:24Let me...
03:25Let me...
03:25Let me try to talk to Simone.
03:27Miss Simone.
03:29So...
03:30I mean, I take it you're not a fan of the padlock.
03:33Let me correct you.
03:34The inspector is not a fan of the padlock.
03:37OK.
03:38OK.
03:39So if I have a dementia patient who wanders, like how do I keep him secure?
03:45Well, the padlock will keep him secure, but what if there's a fire?
03:49Hmm.
03:50Then he'll be secure.
03:51Oh.
03:51Burnt and dead.
03:54Oh.
03:54Oh, OK.
03:55I see what you mean.
03:56So to answer Mr. Mann's question...
03:59Uh-huh.
03:59My name...
04:00My name's Jeremy.
04:03Jeremy, don't come for me.
04:04I can guarantee you this ain't what you want.
04:08I'm trying to help you out.
04:10This place is out of compliance across the board.
04:14If an inspector came in here today, you would be shut down.
04:18D-O-W-N.
04:19Hmm.
04:20It's not cute.
04:22It's inexcusable.
04:24Quite frankly, it's sad.
04:26Hmm.
04:27Told y'all.
04:48So tell us how you really feel.
04:50Oh, no worries.
04:51I am not one to hold my tongue.
04:53And somehow I can believe that.
04:56Yeah.
04:56So what are the major things we need to pass inspection?
05:00Well...
05:00It's a mountain of things.
05:02Oh.
05:03Where do I begin?
05:05Oh.
05:07She in the refrigerator?
05:08Why is she in the refrigerator?
05:12Well, look.
05:12How about we start with our security system?
05:15Mm-hmm.
05:16Okay.
05:17The security system.
05:18I got good news.
05:19Okay.
05:20And I have bad news.
05:22Uh-oh.
05:23That's not good.
05:25Yeah.
05:25Lay it on us.
05:26What do you want first?
05:27The good news or the bad news?
05:28Well, how about we start with the bad news?
05:30Okay.
05:30The bad news is, these fixes are gonna take a lot of checks.
05:34And it could get very expensive.
05:36Mm-mm.
05:36Okay.
05:37Yeah, that's real bad news.
05:39All right.
05:39Well, what's the good news?
05:40The good news is, all of the fixes are fixable.
05:44Now that's good news.
05:46There was a time in elderly communities where the padlock with the key was the only way to secure.
05:53Right.
05:53But today, that's just not the case.
05:56We can secure your home while maintaining a safe environment for your residence in case of a fire or other
06:02emergency.
06:03Oh, really?
06:04Well, that sounds great.
06:05It is.
06:07And I think that if we take care of these security issues, we're gonna fix a whole lot of other
06:13issues, too, along the way.
06:14Oh, that's great.
06:16Yeah, so, since you're so against this padlock idea, what do you suggest?
06:20You got a thing with padlocks?
06:22I don't have a thing with padlocks. It was just a suggestion.
06:25Uh-oh.
06:26Okay.
06:27Now, see, I'm gonna have to keep my eye on Jeremy over here. My one good eye.
06:31Well, Jeremy just anxious to see what your suggestions are. That's all.
06:35Okay.
06:35Well, I'm gonna give you a few suggestions for security.
06:38Mm-hmm.
06:39Uh, for example, the resident that you're concerned about can wear a sensor.
06:43The sensor is going to alert an alarm, and the alarm will let you know when he's trying to open
06:47the door.
06:48Really?
06:49Mm-hmm.
06:50Also, today, there's a system that will automatically lock the doors unless there is a fire alarm going off.
06:57Oh.
06:57See, these days, the caretaker can even be alerted.
07:00Wow.
07:00You can know in real time that someone is trying to leave the facility.
07:04Wow.
07:05Now, if you choose to have all of your residents wear monitors, which I do suggest, you can know which
07:12resident is trying to leave the facility.
07:14Oh, wow.
07:15Man, I'm gonna put that on Phillip.
07:17I like that.
07:18That's good.
07:18Yeah, well, that's helpful.
07:21Okay.
07:22And I have to add that doing either one of these systems will go a long way in giving confidence
07:27to your state inspector that you guys are updated and operating with best industry practices.
07:32That sounds important.
07:34Yeah.
07:34It is.
07:35There are a lot of facilities that have been shut down statewide.
07:39Oh.
07:39Your new super in this region is very strict.
07:42Mm.
07:42You guys have a small window of time to get this place up to snuff.
07:46Hey, listen, Ms. Simone, we are ready to get on it right away.
07:49Okay.
07:50So, you still wondering why you had to call me, Mr. Jeremy?
07:57No.
07:59Okay.
08:00I guess that's better.
08:02There you go.
08:08Just fabulous.
08:13Hello, Anastasia.
08:15Hi, Effie.
08:16Where are you off to?
08:16We haven't seen much of you lately.
08:18Oh, you know I started my classes for my teacher certification.
08:21You did?
08:22Why, that's wonderful.
08:23It is.
08:24I am having a ball.
08:26Imagine, after all these years, I'm back at school.
08:28You're an inspiration to us all.
08:30Thanks.
08:31You know, I've even made several new friends.
08:33Of course you have, Effie.
08:36And, uh, what is all this?
08:39Not more things you've worn online.
08:41It is.
08:42But don't tell Vinny or Mr. Brown to get so upset when I buy things online.
08:46Well, I must admit, I'm a bit concerned myself.
08:49No need to be concerned about me, Effie.
08:51Where will you put all this stuff?
08:53Didn't you say you had class?
08:55Oh, I do.
08:58Oh.
09:00Anastasia, I have a classmate that was wanting to marry her long-time boyfriend.
09:06And she's asking me if I know anyone that can perform a quick, fast, and painless wedding ceremony.
09:11Do you have any suggestions?
09:13Why would I have a suggestion?
09:16Well, you've been married multiple times, and I thought that, uh, maybe you would know.
09:20Okay, quick and easy.
09:22Mm-hmm.
09:22Wedding.
09:23I'd say a justice of the peace, a religious leader, or a pastor.
09:27I don't know any of those.
09:29Oh.
09:30Or even a judge.
09:31A judge?
09:32Yes, a judge.
09:33Really?
09:35Ah!
09:36Judge Shuni!
09:37Yes, Effie.
09:39So, are you legally allowed to marry somebody in this state?
09:43Yes, of course.
09:43I'm a judge.
09:44Huh?
09:45So, so if you marry somebody legally, it'll stick?
09:48Yes, of course.
09:49Oh, that is wonderful.
09:50I have some friends that want to get married quick, fast, and painless.
09:53Okay, well, uh, yes, I can do that.
09:55Oh, you can?
09:56Yeah, sure.
09:57Oh, you know, they'll be willing to pay you.
09:58Main thing is they'll need a marriage license.
10:00Oh, good.
10:00I would tell them.
10:01Okay, well, just tell me when you want me to do it.
10:02Oh, well, so have you performed weddings before?
10:05Many times.
10:06Wow, this is great.
10:08They're going to be so happy.
10:09They'll need a trusted witness for the nuptials.
10:11Oh, can anyone witness?
10:13Uh, well, it doesn't really matter, but, um, uh, many couples just want to choose their own witnesses.
10:18Oh, I don't think they mind very much.
10:19Okay, well, just let me know when then.
10:21Okay, very soon.
10:21Okay.
10:22Oh, good, good.
10:28Okay, now, is anyone on your staff a licensed nutritionist?
10:32Uh, well, no.
10:34Well, but I am a registered nurse.
10:36Whew.
10:37You okay, baby?
10:37Okay.
10:38I am okay.
10:38That helps.
10:40Now, who prepares their meals, the food?
10:42Oh, that would be me, with the help of Leah and Jeremy.
10:45Mm-hmm.
10:45Is that a problem?
10:46Oh, no, no, no.
10:47You all right.
10:47This is an assisted living facility, so the state's guidelines are more relaxed for you guys.
10:52Mm-hmm.
10:52But the more licensed professionals you have on staff, the better.
10:56I am a certified educator, and I also have my master's in social work.
11:00Mm-hmm.
11:00Oh, well, that's great.
11:01Okay.
11:02Now, what I'm gonna do is put together a list of things to get you ready for your inspection
11:07next week.
11:07Okay.
11:08First thing on the list, pray you do not get William Nolan for your inspector.
11:12William Nolan.
11:13Mm-hmm.
11:13Mm-hmm.
11:14And why not William Nolan?
11:16If William Nolan comes in here today, you can pack your bags and all your residents.
11:21Uh-uh.
11:21Y'all gonna be out.
11:22Okay, okay.
11:23Okay.
11:25Wait a minute.
11:26Who is it?
11:26Sir, he just walked in.
11:27How can I help you, sir?
11:30Yes, ma'am.
11:31Hi, sir.
11:31I'm William Nolan.
11:33I'm here for your inspection.
11:34William Nolan?
11:36Inspection?
11:37No.
11:37Our inspection is next week.
11:39No, sir.
11:39Your inspection is today.
11:44Today?
11:45No, sir.
11:45No, sir.
11:46Uh-uh.
11:47We sent you a letter.
11:48Ah, man.
11:49I done read the letter wrong.
11:50Jeremy.
11:51Yeah, I was looking at this date.
11:53That is the date I send my report into the state.
11:56This date right here.
11:57Today's date.
11:58Yes, that is your inspection date.
12:00Today.
12:02Damn.
12:03Uh-oh.
12:04Mr.
12:04Nolan.
12:06Nolan.
12:07Okay.
12:08William Nolan.
12:10Simone.
12:12Do you work with this facility?
12:14I do.
12:15I'm their licensed elderly care consultant.
12:17Well, that is a good sign.
12:20I'm impressed.
12:21You are?
12:22Yes.
12:23She's expensive.
12:24Oh, yeah.
12:24You ain't lying.
12:25You must really care about getting things right at your facility.
12:29Simone is the best.
12:30Oh, William.
12:31Flattery will get you everywhere.
12:34Enough of this big gab.
12:36Let's get on with your inspection.
12:38This will take some time.
12:41Uh, um, um, Mr. Nolan.
12:44Um, we made a mistake.
12:46We thought our inspection was next week.
12:49Well, you thought wrong, Miss...
12:52Cora.
12:52Cora.
12:53Your inspection is today.
12:55Well, Mr. Nolan, I don't know if we're prepared for today.
12:59Well, if I may be frank, the letter was a courtesy.
13:02You should be prepared to have the state come by and visit whenever.
13:06And surely if you're operating above board, you wouldn't have to scramble to get ready.
13:10You'd already be ready.
13:13Well, that's fair.
13:15Um, sir, Mr. Nolan, we just need a little grace today.
13:19Grace?
13:20Mm-hmm.
13:21I'm afraid I'm not a deity.
13:22Well, sir, you don't have to be a god to just give some grace, Mr. Nolan.
13:27William, the truth of the matter is, Pleasant Days has launched a valiant effort to bring
13:35everything up to code.
13:36Yeah.
13:37I purchased the book that you wrote.
13:39Mm-hmm.
13:39They loved it, by the way.
13:41Yes, loved it.
13:41Yeah.
13:42Great.
13:42They are hiring me to implement a complete overhaul using chapter 26.
13:4826, alright.
13:48We're going point by point.
13:51We have a list.
13:51Mm-hmm.
13:52And I think that if you come back in a week, you will see a facility flourishing under your
13:59guidance and instruction.
14:02Flourishing.
14:03Okay.
14:04I will come back.
14:06Having Simone on your team gives me comfort, so I will come back next week.
14:11We'll see you next week, Cora.
14:12Thank you, Ms. Nolan.
14:20Man, that was close.
14:21Girl, thank you.
14:24That's what I do.
14:27Okay, so now, Mr. Jeremy, do you feel good about paying me my worth?
14:34Now, do you see why you had to call me?
14:37I don't think.
14:38Hell, nah.
14:42All right.
14:43Look.
14:46Simone, we appreciate all the help that you're giving us.
14:50Whew.
14:51Okay, I guess that's better.
14:53Pay at luck.
14:54Watch Simone.
14:56Oh, come on.
15:04And how long have you courted?
15:06Uh, 10 years.
15:09And you're of sound mind, both of you, to go into this union?
15:13Oh, yes.
15:13Yes.
15:15And do you have a marriage license?
15:18Yes.
15:18Yes, we have it here.
15:19Please, may I see it?
15:20I hope so.
15:22Oh, okay.
15:24Okay.
15:26And, of course, you have rings.
15:27Yes, we do.
15:28Okay.
15:29Hey, hey.
15:30Hey, Judge.
15:32Is everything okay, Judge Judy?
15:33All seems to be in order.
15:35Ah, Claudia.
15:35Oh, you look so beautiful.
15:37Oh, this is great.
15:38I'm so excited.
15:40You still need me as a witness, F.A.?
15:43Oh, can you, Anastasia?
15:44It would be my pleasure.
15:45I love weddings.
15:48Hey, Leonard, Clara, this is...
15:51I am Anastasia Devereaux.

16:14By the way, I'm available for selfies and autographs post your nuptial.
16:19Oh.
16:20Oh.
16:21And nice to meet you.
16:24Okay.
16:25Are you ready?
16:27We are.
16:29Thank you, Judge June.
16:30Dear Clara and Leonard, and invited guests who will act as witnesses.
16:37We are gathered here today to join these two people in matrimony who have presented themselves before the magistrate, hoping,
16:46wishing to be joined together in marriage.
16:49Mm-hmm.
16:50Now, Leonard, I'd like you to face your bride-to-be.
16:54Ah.
16:56And repeat after me.
16:59I, Leonard Gibbs.
17:01I, Leonard Gibbs.
17:02Take thee, Clara Wilson.
17:05Take thee, Clara Wilson.
17:07As my lawfully wedded wife.
17:09As my lawfully wedded wife.
17:11To have and to hold.
17:13To have and to hold.
17:16In sickness and in health.
17:19In sickness and in health.
17:22I solemnly swear to testify with accuracy and truth.
17:26Huh?
17:27And, and.
17:28I solemnly swear to testify with accuracy and truth.
17:33And will testify with truth and nothing but the truth.
17:37So help me God.
17:38Reginald, I think.
17:39Well, please, please, Anastasia, don't interrupt me in the middle of their wedding.
17:43Yes, but, but.
17:45Right.
17:45And we have gathered here with, with, with, with invited guests to join, to join together?
17:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
17:52Please don't interrupt me!
17:54Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
17:55Okay, okay, okay.
17:55Leonard, Clara, I'm very sorry.
17:57Please, have a seat while we talk to the judge.
17:59Reginald, how dare you interrupt these people's wedding?
18:02Reginald, please, come with us for a moment.
18:04No, no, no, wait.
18:05No, no, wait.
18:06No, no, wait.
18:06Come with us for a moment, Reginald.
18:07Calm down.
18:08I will not calm down.
18:10Reginald.
18:14I can't, I can't.
18:14It's okay, sorry.
18:15It's all right.
18:16Shh.
18:17What is it?
18:22It was terrible.
18:23Clara, a letter just left.
18:25That feel terrible for them.
18:27Yes, they were so disappointed.
18:29Now, wow.
18:29Some wedding.
18:31Yeah, so, so where's the judge now?
18:33I got him to lie down.
18:35He seemed exhausted.
18:37Mm-hm.
18:37Thank you so much, F.A. and Anastasia.
18:40We'll handle it from here.
18:43Please, let us know if there's anything we can do to help Judge Judy.
18:46We sure will.
18:47Okay.
18:48Okay.
18:51So, Simone, what do you think about this?
18:53I think I've seen this kind of thing many times before.
18:56You have?
18:56I have.
18:57I suspect he forgot to take his medicine.
18:59Who's responsible for administering his medication?
19:02Well, he is.
19:04Oh, no.
19:04I mean, he's been highly functioning until now, so it's been okay.
19:10He's no longer highly functioning, folks.
19:12Yeah.
19:13You're going to have to take a look at his daily responsibility.
19:15So we're going to have to start giving him his medicine now?
19:17Yes.
19:18And you will probably need to put him on a schedule.
19:21A schedule?
19:22Yes.
19:23Time to bathe, Reginald.
19:25Time to eat, Reginald.
19:26Time to take your medicine, Reginald.
19:28Have you clean clothes, Reginald.
19:31Let me see your closet, Reginald.
19:32Wow.
19:33So basically control his life completely?
19:36Yes.
19:37Hence the term assisted living.
19:40You need to monitor him daily.
19:42And you may find that his cognitive ability is changing very fast.
19:48Wow.
19:49That's really troubling.
19:50It is.
19:51But if you keep him on his medication on a regular basis, you may be able to slow the onset
19:57of some of the things I mentioned earlier.
19:59Either way, it's a new day for Reginald Junie.
20:03Wow.
20:04Wow.
20:11Hey, I got the inspection report.
20:14Oh, I'm so nervous.
20:15I'm so nervous.
20:15Oh, Jerry, hurry up.
20:16Just open it.
20:17Open it.
20:17All right, all right.
20:18All right, let's see.
20:22Oh, Mr. Nolan passed me.
20:23Oh, thank you, Lord.
20:26Yeah, well, wait, wait.
20:27Wait.
20:27He got a lot of recommendations for some things we need to take care of.
20:30That's okay.
20:31We got our work cut out for us.
20:32Yeah, we got that.
20:33We can do it.
20:34We can do that.
20:34We can do that.
20:35That is so good.
20:36Yeah, I got to admit, I did not like that Simone lady.
20:39Yeah, me either.
20:41Y'all, come on now.
20:42That was my church member now.
20:43I know.
20:44She was heaven sent now.
20:45She was.
20:46Yeah, she was heaven sent and money spent.
20:49She worked good for us, man, y'all.
20:51That was excellent.
20:52Woo, thank you.
20:52Woo.
20:53That is so good.
20:54That is so good, too.
20:55Y'all, we worked.
20:56Oh.
21:13That is so good.
