nursing home abuse
In the UnitedStates, families turn to nursing homes to give the elderly care and attention,but many nursing homes have been cited for abuse. According to a reviewof state inspection records requested by Republican Henry Waxman, some 5,283nursing homes were cited for abuse violations in the past two years.
“We found examplesof residents being punched, choked, or kicked by staff members or otherresidents,” Waxman said.
The story of HelenSmith reported by CBS News last year is a shocking reality for thousands of oldAmericans. She was attacked by a certified nursing assistant at a nursing home,who was angered because she’d soiled herself. “He choked me and broke my wrist,”said Smith.
Helen Smith diedtwo days after her interview. That nurse assistant got a year in the countyjail and a CBS News investigation found that three other employees at the samenursing home had been fined for abuse, which should have barred them fromnursing home work.
The nursing homeindustry agrees on the need for stiffer background checks, but disagrees abuseis widespread. Abuse is not the norm in nursing homes, and many staff membersdeserve praise,” said Carol Sellers, vice president of Washington Home, anearly 200-bed center in the District of Columbia.
“The great majorityof long-term care in our nation is excellent. There’re people every day thatare working very hard to provide that care,” said Charles Roadman, president ofthe American Health Care Association. To deal with nursing home abuse, BruceBrown, spokesman for the American Association of Homes and Services for theAging said, “We strongly believe nursing homes that exhibit consistently poorperformance should either clean up their act or be put out of business.” 展开
