We need to be able to trust those who are caring for our loved ones. Frequent visits are helpful but a caregiver cannot be at the bedside/roomside 24 hours a day. Shelley Hi Kirk,

I agree with you wholeheartedly. We need to be able to trust those who are caring for our loved ones. Frequent visits are helpful but a caregiver cannot be at the bedside/roomside 24 hours a day.

The experience we had with mom's A/L facility was fantastic, and we are so grateful she was safe and well cared for. I know from experience that people struggle with the decisions of where to have mom and dad live and how to care for them. In many cases a facility is the only option, and to add the worry about something like this happening to your parent is tragic. It’s so sad that any “care”giver would do such a thing.

You're right. Not all instances of nursing home care are negative, but wouldn't it be nice if our elders could be cared for in family homes? Thank you, Kaye, I appreciate your comment.

How SAD! I agree with you that caring for elderly parents at home is the preferred option. But for those who do have to use care facilities, for a variety of different reasons and needs, close supervision is vital. I have had various senior friends over the years in different care homes and, while some were bad, we were blessed to hear good stories too. In many of the cases, being active in visiting did help a lot. Hi Shelley, Thanks for bringing this to our attention. How SAD!
