More Ignorance of Reports of Abuse?
A recent report questions whether employee reports of patient abuse in a nursing home went ignored. Read the full article here. An individual was indicted last month on four counts of aggravated sexual abuse of nursing home patients.
Two employees of the nursing home reported the abuse to their supervisor and the Board of Nursing is now investigating whether the reports went unanswered.
Monitor your loved ones closely. If you notice any bruising, withdrawal, a lack of willingness to communicate with you or unusual behavior, report the issue to the administrator of the nursing home but a call to the local police department may be in order as well. Take action. Call us to determine if a civil lawsuit should be filed.
