  | Florida: Abuse In The Nursing Home Nov. 15, 2004: Florida: Abuse In The Nursing Home:"When her mother developed severe dementia, Sandra Banning was forced to take the painful step of putting her in a nursing home. "It was like taking your best friend and just saying, 'I'm sorry I have to do this,'" says Banning. She thought her mother, Virginia Thurston, would be safe at Southwood Nursing Center, until the night she was sexually assaulted by another resident: 83-year-old Ivy Edwards." http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/...in655704.shtml Do nursing homes screen for sex offenders or convicted felons before they accept patients? In most states, the answer is no. Andrew Lopez, RN http://www.4nursing.com |
