Living in Assited Living Facilities CA makes keeping up with these things that much easier. There's no need to arrange for transportation and no danger of missing an appointment. The medical care alone is reason enough for families to consider this wonderful care option.

I agree that the stopping of abuse and prosecution of abusers is way more important than the privacy issue, which they don't have much of there anyways, and after experiencing this problem with my own mother, I agree that video cameras are the ONLY thing that will be able to stop these crimes and get these abusers out of the nursing homes. Legislators, please mandate bedroom video cameras, except for people who can verbalize that they don't want it, and have all their faculties. I am personally terrified of having to go to one myself, but the facts are that most of us will have to go to one some day. Mandate it now, while you have a chance to avoid being abused!!!!!!!!

Nursing is a great profession.A nurse must be more responsible and also strict to follow guidelines.We usually find a nurse as a soft-hearten server, not killer. I claim to investigate the issue. Obviously it need to punished the guilty.

I know Jenette Sloan, and I know how much she loved her Mother. They should be arrested and sued for such treatment. Nothing is an excuse.

If you have suffered an injury as a direct result of negligent medical treatment or care that you have received, this may be referred to as ‘medical malpractice’. Medical malpractice compensation

Understanding is a key word for personal injury solicitors. Due to the nature of the cases they deal with, you will find that personal injury solicitors are easy to talk with, sympathetic of your situation and considerate of the injuries that you have suffered when providing advice. And personal injury solicitors offer an impartial ear when discussing the circumstances surrounding your injuries – they will not be influenced by personal feelings when determining whether an accident is due to negligence or is an accident.

Why in the world would the facility allow such abuse and neglect to occur for a period of six weeks knowing this was occurring on camera for such a long period??!!

Re: Illinois nursing home advocates fight proposed bill to refund fines

BeasleyAllen — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 14:27:52 -0000

We are simply trying to bring attention to shine a spotlight on what the Illinois legislature is trying to do here.

While this is a complicated issue, experience shows that stiff fines and punitive damages are often the only thing that will bring about drastic change in the way nursing homes treat their patients.

We agree with Wendy Meltzer that the idea of refunding moneys paid by nursing homes that have been cited for abuse or neglect in “the rape or death of a resident is ‘morally repugnant.’”

beverlybramlett — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 13:53:46 -0000

Dan Kotowski: are you out of mind? You would be rewarding bad behavior. These nursing homes don't need their fines returned, they need harsher ones, so that they will eliminate the need to be fined.

Re: Schizophrenic man to stand trial in nursing home sexual abuse case

lindagodwin — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:50:55 -0000

I HAVE WORKED IN NURSING HOMES OF ALL SORTS IN MY 20 YRS. OF NURSING AND THERE IS NOT ENOUGH STAFF TO GIVE PROPER CARE OR TO WATCH EACH OTHER TO AVOID ABUSE AND NEGLECT. ALSO THESE NURSING HOMES ARE TAKING IN ANYONE WITH A WARM BODY AND A CHECK. IT IS SO DISGUSTING THAT IT HAS TURNED ALL INTO A MONEY THING AND NOT TAKING CARE OF HUMAN BEINGS THAT NEED CARE NOW. I CAN'T GET THROUGH TO ANYONE WHO COULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE BECAUSE OTHER STAFF LIES ABOUT HAVING SUPPLIES AND BEING ABLE TO GET TO THEM WHICH IS LIES BUT SEEMS NO ONE CARES. AND THE ABUSE IS OUTRAGIOUS BUT NO ONE WANTS TO BELIEVE THAT EITHER. MAKES ME SICK AND UNEMPLOYED I HAD TO QUIT.
