Nursing Aide sexually abuses and preys on stroke victims at nursing home

This is a truly horrendous crime, and I hope the man (and the higher ups in the company) are punished justly. I don't know how many of you read the comments to the article, but one person had a good point. People need to check over the elderly who such poor health, and make sure they have no abnormal bruising or other injuries. This is so dispicable, I can't even think of a way to say what I'm thinking...

WOW! That is appalling! Why does it not seem surprising to me that the company didn't do a damn thing? Grrr..

Doesn't surprise me at all. I've witnessed patient slappings ("take your medications, Bastar%^"), reported each and every event and nothing. Not a single thing and the staff are still there likely doing this today.

I witnessed false documentation by a PT Dr....a trauma patient was supposedly getting out of bed and receiving PT. Turned out he hadn't ever left bed or had any vitals taken for the past 13 hours when I checked the chart....then the nurse filled in all the medication administration blanks and not a single person entered the ICU room my whole 6 hours there. I saw IV bags, full with the Pt's name in the trash.

I paged the doctor who claimed the patient's grip was 2/5 and legs were 3/5 without ever touching the patient, told him I knew what he just did and wasn't amused and the patient had never been out of bed and legally he must enter the room in order to bill. I didn't bother with the nurse...that facility was a mess top to bottom and this practice was common there. Technically I wasn't allowed to report anyone given my position. I even called the board and my CEO to make sure...,peeved me off so badly! I hate witnessing abuse with no legal power to do anything about it. What about the 2 nurses charged with felony for reporting a Doc recently? Health care is a mess! Nothing has changed since the first time I saw a stroke patient slapped during a m/s rotation.
