A Case of Nursing Home Abuse
In Fair Oaks, CA a relative of a nursing home resident installed a hidden camera near his grandmother’s bed during a normal visit. This relative was looking for a new nursing home for his grandmother because of complaints from his grandmother that she was being abused. Unfortunately his grandmother did not get a chance to transfer because by the time the relative returned, his grandmother was dead.
The nursing home told the relative his grandmother died of a natural death. Suspicious of them the relative secretly retrieved the hidden camera and viewed the footage. He was shocked. He saw his grandmother being dumped off her wheel chair by a nursing home nurse. The nurse just walked away and left her there. Another instant his grandmother was crying and no one came by to console her. It was truly devastating.
The autopsy revealed bumps and bruises on his grandmother. The nursing home declined to comment. Most nursing homes Charlotte NC are not like this. But you never really know. What can look good on the outside may be dead and rotting on the inside.
