A Licensed Practical Nurse at a nursing home facility was charged after police discovered she had been taking disturbing and invasive photographs of elderly patients in her care. According to the criminal complaint, the nurse was taking these invasive photographs and sending them to a co-worker at the facility. The police believe that the photographs’ sole purpose were to demean the patients.

One nursing home recently received the poorest rating in regards to safety and cleanliness. Nursing home inspectors were called on scene while a police investigation was occurring due to suspicions of resident abuse. According to reports, this nursing home was incredibly under-staffed, which created a delay in residents getting care measures they might need urgently.

The Department of Public Health is working hard to revoke one nursing home’s license. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the nursing home’s funding was in “immediate jeopardy” for weeks prior due to allegations of multiple abuse claims. Some of the abuse was both physical and sexual in nature.     According to reports, one resident at this nursing home sexually abused at least two fellow residents on separate occasions.

A jury recently determined that a nursing home facility was responsible for the pain and suffering during one of its patients’ final days alive. While one nurse aide was changing the victim’s bed sheets, the victim fell from the bed and sustained serious head injuries. Facility protocol stated that two aides were to be present and assisting with linen changes.    According to public records, the victim had several health issues before she fell at the facility.

A resident of a nursing home facility was recently charged following a purported sexual assault on another resident. According to the police, the alleged victim was asleep during the initial part of the assault. The victim reported the suspect after she woke up mid-assault.
