My grandmother is dying because of neglect/abuse

[Dancing Lady]

My grandmother lives in NY last week I got a call saying that she was dying that she had maybe 3 weeks to live. Today my sister who flew up there is sitting in the er with her now. Hours after they left to drive back to Florida my father gets a call saying shes in the hospital. They waited till my family had left to send her to the hospital. My sister got my fathers call on her cell phone. The nursing home staff had that number as the emergancy call number. My grand mother was starved and now has a bed sore that is so infected the odor permiated the entire room and sent my mother running to vomit. Help me help those left in that nursing home. My grandmother may not survive this but there are alot of people in that home. I leave for NY friday morning with my father. Who do I contact to get that home raided and those people checked out to make sure that no one else is in this bad a condition.

Hello Dancing Lady,

 

I am so very sorry to hear about your grandmother and the poor care she has received. Here are some links for more information on pursuing a civil case against the nursing home:

In New York the enforcement of nursing homes is covered by the link removed[/i] York State Department of Health.

 

I hope this helps you.
