The Nursing Home Complaint Center is urging all family members, or loved ones of a nursing home patient to visit this person, as often as possible. The group says, “we fear most family members, or friends of nursing home patients, have no clue about the level of care their loved one is receiving in most of our nations nursing homes. We talked to the daughter of a nursing home neglect victim a few days ago, the patient had a broken hip, which was not discovered for almost a week-the patient died.” The Nursing Home Complaint Center says, “every US citizen with a family member, or loved one in a nursing home needs to know the warning signs of nursing home abuse, neglect, and or even a wrongful death. To us the two most important indicators are non stop serious infections, that require hospitalization, and or broken bones.” If a family member, or loved one has specific proof, or serious concerns about nursing home abuse, neglect, or wrongful death, they should contact the Nursing Home Complaint Center anytime at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at http://NursingHomeComplaintCenter.Com

Nursing Home Abuse, Or Neglect Warning Signs:

The Nursing Home Complaint Center says, “all family members, or loved ones of a nursing home patient need to be on the lookout for hard to explain broken bones, frequent hospitalizations for infections, unsanitary room conditions, or really poor excuses related to a death of a nursing home patient.” They say, “our group is especially sensitive to nursing home patients who do not get changed, or get clean diapers if they defecate, or urinate in their bed. Failure of the nursing home staff to do this often times results in the patient getting sepsis, or the patient goes into septic shock-they get sent to a hospital ER-and they die. That’s Wrong!” If a family member, or loved one of a nursing home patient has serious concerns about the patient, they can contact the Nursing Home Complaint Center anytime at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at http://NursingHomeComplaintCenter.Com
