Mood:    | Arkansas: Nursing Home Neglect Persists Nov. 16, 2004: Arkansas: Nursing Home Neglect Persists:"When Monica Fleming put her mother in a nursing home, she thought she'd get crucial help after heart surgery. But as CBS News Correspondent Sharyl Attkisson reports, within 30 days Georgia Givens was dead from an unrelated cause: neglect. She choked, had gangrene in her leg and, according to the coroner, ants may have infested Givens' body through her feeding tube while she was alive. If it hadn't been for the coroner, Fleming probably would have thought she died a natural death." http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/...in656083.shtml Makes you want to keep close tabs on your relatives in Nursing Homes, doesn't it?

| Re: Arkansas: Nursing Home Neglect Persists This makes me feel much beter since my father is in a rehab in Pulaski County, Arkansas! Atleast if he dies, we'll have the coroner to ask the real cause of death, right? And last time I was there they were preaching to me about their "quality of nursing care." |
