State Acts To Curb Nursing Home Abuse
Kentucky state officials acted to curb resident abuse in nursing homes by asking the state's nursing homes to adopt rules prohibiting their employees from photographing residents with their cell phones reports kentucky.com, "State Officials Ask Nursing Homes To Stop Cell-Phone Abuse." A recent investigation at Bluegrass Health and Rehabilitation Center in Lexington found that staff members had taken photos of residents, some where the resident was only partially clothed, and demeaned them by attaching sexually explicit lyrics to the photos and sent them by text message to co-employees and others.
