The Ohio Attorney General\u2019s office referred to a recent case of nursing home neglect as \u201cgut-wrenching.\u201d Indeed, it seems that the case shocked the consciousness of virtually everyone in authority \u2014 which is remarkable given the way that many cases of nursing home neglect are overlooked.<\/p>\n

A Franklin County grand jury has indicted seven defendants<\/a> \u2014 six nurses and a nurse practitioner \u2014 on 34 charges, including falsifying patient records, forgery, gross patient neglect and involuntary manslaughter. So far, none of the defendants have entered the plea.<\/p>\n

The charges stem from the death of one male resident, whose condition was so dire that authorities say he literally \u201crotted away\u201d without anyone seeking appropriate care. Despite the fact that he was suffering from gangrene and wounds that had gone necrotic, the facility\u2019s nurses delayed taking the patient to the hospital for treatment. He ultimately died of septic shock on March 5, 2017.<\/p>\n

Charges are also related to the care of a female resident, who suffered unspecified harm as a result of nursing neglect. In an effort to hide their neglect, nurses falsified the patient\u2019s records. At times, they noted in the record that they were administering care or treatment to the patient when other records show that she wasn\u2019t even at the facility<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As Attorney General Dave Yost said in a news conference following the nurses\u2019 indictment, \u201cThis case goes to the heart of protecting the unprotected.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nursing home managers continue to leave their homes critically understaffed \u2014 and the staff that is there aren\u2019t always willing to do their jobs the way that they should. Like the nurses in this case, they may be more than willing to cut corners \u2014 and lie to try to cover what they\u2019ve done.<\/p>\n

If you have a loved one in one of these facilities, pay close attention to signs of nursing home neglect, including things like untreated wounds, bedsores and other health issues. The sad reality is that you can\u2019t really rely on the staff to look after your loved one. You have to be vigilant for them to prevent horrors like these from taking place.<\/p>\n

If your loved one is a victim of nursing home neglect<\/a>, do your part to prevent others from suffering the same kind of treatment: Find out how to hold the perpetrators of such abuse accountable for their actions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
