It’s world Senior Citizen day. It’s our day to celebrate you senior citizens for what you’ve given to the rest of the world. So thank you very much. What we wanted to talk about today is. The sad thing of when somebody who is older and has to go to a nursing home, what should you do if you suspect any kind of abuse where somebody’s taking advantage of or injuring a senior citizen?
Well, in Wisconsin there’s, department of Health. There’s state agencies. I’ll just say that, and we’ll have some of the, links in the comments here that you can contact if you suspect that your loved one is. Being taken advantage of or if they’re injured at a nursing home. The state’s responsibility is to investigate these claims so they can keep others safe.
Certainly keep your loved ones safe and keep others safe. By investigating all the nursing homes and making sure that they’re properly staffed, they’re using the right processes and procedures to keep people safe and living as long as they should and could be. So document, you can request the medical chart, escalate it to maybe the director of nursing, some other higher up at the nursing home.
And what you can do simply is give us a call and we can help you through the process. There’s a checklist that we have available that we can get to you so you know what’s going on, and just check off the boxes, because there are some. State agencies that you may not even be aware of, that you should contact ’cause they can help.
If you have any questions, let us know. Comments, send us a direct message, or just give us a call.
