Abuse in nursing homes
How can nursing homes reduce and eventually eliminate resident abuse?
I want to write my paper on abuse in nursing homes.
The problem statement can be change if you want.
How can nursing homes reduce and eventually eliminate resident abuse.
I believe better trained staff, more staff, better pay for staff so they are not forced to seek more that one job and come to work tried. A good employee might be tired and fall to sleep and forget to give that resident food, meds, or change them. Better regulation for that State and Government. More unannounced visited. Most nursing homes know when their case work is coming and most of the time the homes cleaned up the supervisor is there to make sure everything goes well.
Abuse can be Physical, Verbal, Sexual, and unintentional
