Each and every day, we read more and more about nursing homes gone bad. The problem with this scenario is that it is being kept a secret -inside nursing homes. The patients and residents, and even sometimes, the visitors are very frightened about speaking out agsinst the nursing homes.
What is their fear?
They fear reprisals (since patients are living there, they have nowhere to go to. After making complaints, usually the patient needs to remain at the facility --the same facility where the complaints are registered. S0, patients do not report, and visitors do not report, --just to save the patient.
Now, what is the solution ? One simple solution --for future is to complain about these horrible places ONCE you are already outside the place. If you surive a horrible stay at any nursing home worldwide, we invite you to come and share your story.
