I have a friend in another state and her grandma is in a nursing home. Nanny as she calls her cries out the need to use the bathroom and my friend kept tabs on her. The home wanted to give her a pad to urniate on. I replied and then let her sit in it a wet pad till they came back to change it. Very sad the way the people treat people. The home due to others complaints that her grandmother got others to make a list of things not done right in the nursing home. The nursing home and how it is run is being looked into to make sure people there are treated right.
Adult Protective Services staff investigate reports of abuse, neglect (including self-neglect) or financial exploitation of adults who are unable to protect themselves due to a physical or mental limitation. APS staff assess the need for protective services and provide services to reduce the identified risk to the adult.
