Nursing Home Nightmares

Sadly, we have seen a lot of nursing home neglect cases
over the years. It’s heartbreaking.

A family puts its trust in a home to care for their older loved ones only to have
that trust betrayed. Sometimes that betrayal causes a preventable death.

Hands down, the most common sign we see are pressure ulcers,
commonly known as bedsores.

People who spend most of the day in bed need to be turned once every hour. This is a basic
standard of care, but some nursing home staff are unwilling or unable to follow through.

Another common occurrence is unattended falls. A nursing home resident will push a button for
help at midnight to be escorted to the bathroom, but no one will respond.

In desperation the resident will attempt to walk on their own, fall down, and suffer a terrible
injury such as a broken hip.

A broken hip late in life robs people of their mobility and older people need their daily
exercise even if it’s just a brief walk.

Besides the physical problems, the mental anguish sets in as well. This leads too many
people on a downward spiral that ends in their death. It’s called “failure to thrive”.

From our experience, elderly loved ones in neglect cases know what’s happening to them is wrong, but tragically many of them give up
and accept the neglect.

Listen to your loved ones and if they aren’t being taken care of properly you will need a helping hand to guide you on your options.
