Something needs to be done...that just isn't right...leaving people there to die....Bill O had a relative of one of the deceased on his program tonight...according to her, she and her family were assured that measures would be taken to ensure no harm would come to any of the patients....so they left without their relative (think it was their grandma).
Just because a NH looks clean and the food doesn't look half bad, doesn't mean they are as safe as at a family home. This makes a case for utilizing visiting nurses instead of removing patients from their families.
Panic and indifference. I bet the literature package for this particular nursing home says what a wonderful, safe place it is. Families must rearrange their lives to take care of their own. It is a sacrifice and requires a change in lifestyle but it is a loving way to treat our family members. Sticking them somewhere is no guarantee that they will be safe. The faster Wilkes & McHugh gets involved, this NH will cease to exist. Go, Jim Wilkes!
My favorite congressman, Dave Weldon of Florida. You should call his office sometime. He's a doctor and he's my favorite congressman for various and sundry reasons.
