Nursing Home Abuse in Maryland in 2007: Getting Worse, Not Better

ADVERTISEMENTS

Maryland?s nursing homes had an ?off year? according to Jay Handcock?s blog for the Baltimore Sun. The Government Accountability Office reports that citations in Maryland for inflicting residents with ?actual harm? or putting them in ?immediate jeopardy? were given to 17% of Maryland?s 234 nursing homes last year. This is more than a 100% increase from last year.

There is a bill in the Maryland House of Delegates that would require Maryland nursing homes to give people the choice of installing cameras to monitor their loved ones in nursing homes. What would that cost Maryland nursing homes? Nothing. The patients or their families would pay for the camera themselves. Yet I?m going out on a limb to say the bill does not pass. Why? Maryland nursing homes have good lobbyists.
