More on Predators in Nursing Homes…
By jana on Apr 10, 2008 in Care Facilities
The Today Show highlighted the problem of predators living in nursing homes, side by side with our relatives. The Today Show video is pretty good and highlights what we’ve talked about in this blog before in “How Safe are Long Term Care Facilities?”
I’m glad this issue is receiving national attention by the news media. It is a serious issue that needs to be addressed before the larger generation (boomers) start to face this issue on a larger scale.
Remember, when you are considering long term care for your loved ones, be sure to see if the home does background checks on employees as well as other clients. Also ask how they deal with resident on resident abuse.
We’ll have to keep an eye on the Oklahoma legislation to see if other states will follow.
