Some of the state’s sickest patients are stranded in hospitals for weeks, months, and even years as they wait to be moved into nursing homes and psychiatric facilities. This backup is caused in part by nursing home staffing shortages, coupled with a rapidly aging population.

KQED’s Lesley McClurg tells us the story of one Berkeley resident’s struggle to find adequate care for his wife.
