Listen to part 1 of this story. “I thought, well, that sounds like a pretty decent job, you know?” Thompson said. “I mean, the pay was good.” The job was at another assisted living facility, Twin Falls Manor. The building wasn’t open yet, but it was going to be soon. And it would serve only patients who had tested positive for COVID-19. Thompson has worked as a caregiver in senior living centers for about 20 years, mostly in south central Idaho. The $15-per-hour wage Twin Falls Manor was advertising for a medical technician position was about two to three dollars above what he’d typically been offered before. Twin Falls Manor called this a “hero's wage.”
