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

The Nursing Home Complaint Center says, “We are calling March,National Nursing Home Abuse, and Neglect Awareness Month, for all US nursing home patients, and their loved ones. Just as an example of the problem, we believe needless sepsis infections, bed sores, septic shock, broken bones, wrongful death, and elder abuse in our nation’s nursing homes are at, or beyond epidemic levels, and we want to hear from family members who have proof the sick, or deceased family member was mistreated, or not treated at all-with the result being a wrongful death, or they are now in a ICU at a nearby hospital.” They say, “One of the biggest problems we see in the vast majority of our nation’s nursing homes is staffing levels, are not high enough to meet Medicare, or Medicaid standards, with the result being dead patients, or patients suffering from sepsis, bed sores, or septic shock, or broken bones.” The group says, “We desperately need family members, or loved ones to keep journals, or logs related to each time, and date they last saw their family member in a US nursing home, and their condition at that time.” If a family member of a nursing home patient has specific information about severe neglect, or abuse involving a nursing home, and their loved one, please call the Nursing Home Complaint Center immediately at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at http://NursingHomeComplaintCenter.Com

The Nursing Home Complaint Center is also urging nursing home staff members to step forward if they have proof of intentional short staffing, patient neglect, concealing what really happened to someone’s mom, or dad, in the instance of a severe infection, a broken bone, or even a wrongful death. The group says, “many nursing home employees see it, but are too afraid to say something about it. Please call us, if you know of intentional nursing home abuse, neglect, or wrongful death.” They say, “we also want to hear from nursing home employees who have significant proof of Medicare, or Medicaid fraud. If you can prove intentional short staffing, needless Medicare cognitive, ambulatory, or speech tests, there can be huge rewards for this type of information-provided its provable.” Nursing home patient family members, and or nursing home employees are encouraged to call the Nursing Home Complaint Center with any serious concerns, or proof of wrong doing, patient abuse, or patient neglect anytime at 866-714-6466, or they can contact the group via its web site at http://NursingHomeComplaintCenter.Com
