While caring for my granny that was the number 1 complaint I had for the nurses we hired. They always had to take a smoke break and smelled like a freaking chimney.
If an assisted living facility does not have cameras and alarms on doors leading outside to prevent granny from escaping in the middle of the night, then they should be avoided at all costs.
CO ping.
And this is in Boulder County, so it’s not like this living facility was out in the middle of nowhere.
Sounds like a good place for Dr Fubar to retire
Usually not nurses,but patient care xxxx.
I worked for a place in Gaylord that had beeper like things carried by all the employees.
If a door was breached they let you know!
We once caught a woman, thanks to the alarm, on her way out with her pop and snacks.
Why they missed her is criminal. We did bed checks at night every hour.
May God bless her soul.
Really sad about this. And yeah those caregivers usually are young and smoke a lot.
Civil lawsuits are an extremely expensive, bureaucratic mechanism for recovering financial losses. It’s cold to ask, but what exactly are the family’s financial losses in this case? The family went from paying maybe $4,000 per month for the nursing home, to paying a similar monthly expense to a law firm. In America, living to age 97 is often an unnatural medical feat only multimillionaires can afford.
I hate nursing homes. My Mom was in one for a year before she passed.
One Easter Sunday my wife, our daughter (she was two at the time) and myself visited her. We walked to her room, the door was wide open, and she was laying there, naked as the day she was born for all the world to see. I covered her, and went looking for the nurse on duty and chewed her out. I was just about ready to deck her. Those people don’t care.
I’m just glad my daughter was too young to remember.
I hope I die before I get old.
Something similar almost happened to my grams at one of the nursing homes she lived at. Gram was found wandering around outside the facility at night, but it wasn’t cold enough for her to freeze to death.
In any case, not a good look.
My parents, not the suing kind, merely chewed out the facility and moved gram elsewhere.
This should be a slam-dunk for plaintiff’s counsel. Maybe with enough proof adduced at the civil trial, criminal charges can be re-filed.
** They always had to take a smoke break and smelled like a freaking chimney. **
From what I hear, they’re always all related, too.
They always had to take a smoke break
I had a few family member that died in ICU my question is how does one in a coma mode get bruises and cuts when I visited them most of the time the nurses were yacking in the main room.
