Large Grandfather
What would you do if you found your elderly grandfather in this condition in a nursing home?
went to check on my grandad today,he is completely helpless,can't talk,has to be fed.Found him at 12n lying in his bed in bowel movement and a large ring of yellow urine,his face was dirty,he hadn't been shaved,was congested in his chest.His hip had a large pressure area on it and apparently he hadn't been touched since breakfast.Still had his pajama top on..I went off.He was later admitted to the hospital with aspiration pneumonia.He is 83.What would you have done? How do you feel about nursing homes? Do you think these helpless patients are more likely to be neglected.
I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather. It's very unfortunate that some nursing homes are either lacking in good help that they can't possibly take care of the patients that they have or else just don't have the compassion that it takes to care for the patients. I swear that my dear mother will never go into a nursing home because I've seen one too many homes in my life that treated the patients poorly.
If there is someone who is in charge of your grandfather's affairs, then you should consult with them and together go to the D.O.N(Director of Nursing) at the home where your grandfather is at. Let them know that your extremely upset over finding him sick and lying in his own body waste and that you plan on taking action. Tell them that when you admitted him into their facilities, you expected the best of care and am very disappointed that it's not up to even the lowest of standards. Be sure to follow up with whatever action you've chosen to take. I would also consider talking to an attorney.
