0:04
so when we make the difficult decision
0:06
to uh place a love on in a nursing home
0:09
or when they go to a nursing home after
0:11
maybe a surgery and they’re going to get
0:13
a little bit of rehab there are a lot of
0:15
triggers and things that we hear a lot
0:17
from folks who have those loved ones in
0:19
the facilities I would say the number
0:21
one thing to keep an ear out for is any
0:23
sort of wounds um we see a lot of bed
0:26
sores or they’re also called pressure
0:28
ulcers but those can be a sign that
0:30
maybe there isn’t enough uh care being
0:33
provided to the residents repeated Falls
0:36
are something that we hear about all the
0:37
time where you know the nursing home
0:39
will call a family member and say their
0:41
loved one has fallen if that continues
0:43
to happen that should be a little bit of
0:44
a a red flag where maybe somebody might
0:46
peep their interest I’d say the last
0:49
thing is when when folks go do to visit
0:52
their loved ones in a nursing home um
0:55
keep an eye out see how much staff is
0:57
around are you able to find somebody are
0:59
you able to reach the director of
1:00
nursing or assistant director of nursing
1:03
I truly believe that the amount of staff
1:05
there and the quality of care they’re
1:06
getting is a direct link to the
1:09
prevention of of nursing home neglect
