Nursing Home Abuse
Learn what really goes on
Life on the Inside
Nursing Homes have been unsafe environments for the elderly for a long time and not enough is being done to protect them. It’s sad that these centers that are suppose to care for them is imposing harm on them and in many cases shortening their life. Not only are they not being cared for, they are being abused and neglected.
I have witnessed this firsthand now more times than I care to mention, but it’s a lot. From overmedicating, not changing or cleaning them, no fall mats to prevent serious injury and malnourishment and dehydration.
This is the case in many nursing homes and it amazes me that the excuses are the same from the CEOs, Administrators, Director of Nursing, Drs that they did not know. The course of action are the same as well, that they will investigate. I found that in order to protect themsleves they say they will make changes, educate the employees and even fire who they need to to show they got rid of the problem. The problem is and starts at the top staring with the CEO, Corporate, Admins and DONs. Sadly to say I have had to accept a very ugly and scary fact and that is that these people that are in charge of caring and overseeing our loved ones health condition are the very ones subjecting them to illness, preventable accidents, drugging and physical/emotional/verbal and mental abuse.
Who would have ever thought that inside of nursing homes, our loved ones are now victims of abuse and in most cases they cant even express what is going on to them because they are sedated to keep them from talking. They’re threatened with that no one is going to believe them. I was told multiple times that due to stroke and dementia their minds play tricks on them due to hallucinations. They due suffer from those things but these abusers have found their perfect defense in making us believe them and cover up their actions.
This is strong to say but these homes are drug houses and dangerous environments to the elderly. The elderly and weak that cannot defend themselves and didn’t seek out these drugs that are being pushed on them and again in many cases done secretly.
