Nursing Home Negligence Really Exists

By Stacey Burt


At times life can be very rewarding for the people who are now living within Louisiana. Sometimes the older residents residing at Hammond, LA have to face nursing home negligence when they are sent to certain locations. These older people once had very satisfying lives when they were younger and now they have to live like animals at a zoo.

One younger woman was very proud to be a part of this wonderful state and she owed so much to her dear older grandmother. This is one reason why she let the older woman reside with her for so many years. Everything was going quite well until the older lady became sick. The once loving granddaughter did not want the responsibility of caring for her any longer and she found a great facility to place the senior woman in.

The older lady settled into her comfortable room which would now serve as her new home. She was given three meals each day and the team of nurses would usually give her a bath every night. Things were going quite well for the first few weeks until the old lady fell out of her bed. When this event happened she had broken her hip and was unable to do much of anything.

The staff members at this facility were very young and they really did not have the heart for caring for older people. Many of them were only there to collect a paycheck each week. It was no surprise that the older woman was neglected after her fall. She was hit and abused for many weeks after her accident.

She did not even enjoy it when her granddaughter had come to visit her. This younger woman was too busy to make it out to this senior location since she was working and caring for her children. The cruel staff would all place smiles upon their evil faces whenever family members came to visit their kin. The old lady could not speak about any of the incidents since the staff would punish her for doing so.

The younger woman was satisfied with this facility and she continued to let her grandmother reside there. She had no idea about the horrors which were happening during all hours of the day. The male assistants at this place were just as cruel as their female workers. One attendant cut one of his patients on purpose while he was giving him a shave.

At times the residents who were confined to their beds were not given the proper bed pans at night. They had to urinate or even have a bile movement upon their clean sheets. This made the location smell terrible during the night hours. Some of the residents would beg one particular man for help each night but he often ignored their call. He spent most of his time within the laundry room smoking marijuana.

One day while visiting this location the granddaughter discovered that her dear sweet grandmother had expired over the weekend. This old lady never received any justice but the Louisiana police made sure that every other patient was rescued from this horrible place. In the end all of the abusers and rapists were dismissed and given time in prison.
