80 Nursing Home Residents Might be Displaced

By Levin & Perconti

ADVERTISEMENTS

After the federal Department of Health and Human Services conducted many surveys it appears that one nursing home is closing, leaving 80 dependent patients with out a home. The findings included allegations of abuse and mismanagement that resulted in Medicare and Medicaid pulling funding for the nursing home. One 39-year-old HIV patient reported that he had been hurt by two nursing assistants while being washed. Unless something changes between now and Dec. 11, 80 residents will have to find a new place to live. The closest nursing home only has 20 beds available. This story highlights the need for families to make educated decisions when choosing a nursing home for their loved one. To read the full story, click here.
