<span>Aging Life Care News</span>
Recently a patient I visit, who has been developing dementia, told me that the staff slapped her. This could be dementia — on the other hand, a friend of mine who’d been in that nursing home for rehab after the hospital, told me a nurse had yelled at her and called her a troublemaker because she had her light on at night. The patient with dementia, herself a former nurse, also said the staff are callous. This nursing home is known for having poor care. Should I call the ombudsman??
I would call the ombudsman and see what they feel. As you know, this could be valid or could be a consequence of the patients illness. However, the ombudsman are familiar with these situations and are better suited to assess.
