Why Does Nursing Home Neglect Occur?
Texas Nursing Home Abuse
The conditions in a typical nursing home create an environment that makes it easy for neglect to occur.
Several factors create this type of environment:
-
Over-crowded nursing homes
-
Under-paid staff
- Substandard training
What are some recent cases?
Typical examples of Texas nursing home abuse include a blind American veteran admitted into a nursing home who died 35 days later of gangrene-infested bedsores. In another instance, a nurses’ aide placed an elderly woman in a tub of scalding bath water. Instead of summoning a doctor, the aide wrapped the woman in sheets to hide her wounds. The woman died a few days later from her injuries. Finally, one Texas case involved a patient who was a known wanderer. The patient left the facility through an unlocked door, crossed a highway, and was struck by a motorcycle.
