What Can I Do About The Neglect And Abuse My Elderly Father Experienced?

o-SAD-OLD-MAN-facebook.jpg
Today’s question comes from Barbara M. in Marin who asks, “My father was in a skilled nursing facility for the elderly in Marin County. He was 82, had trouble walking, and was basically confined to his bed or a wheel chair (the chair was not used frequently). Dad had some dementia and had bowel and bladder problems so he was also in an adult undergarment. There were times I would come in and find him in bed, soaked in urine and/or feces. The nurses said that they were understaffed and they were doing their best. Dad developed severe ulcers on his bottom that became infected and he died. I feel so bad and angry that they treated him this way. What can I do about it?”

This week’s question comes from Linda in the North Bay.  She asks, “Chris, last fall, my brother and I helped our mother enter a nursing care facility. It was a nightmare. The food was so poor she became malnourished and didn’t drink enough water. Mom stayed in bed for most of the day and developed painful skin lesions. We removed her from the facility, but they refused to take any responsibility. Instead, they claimed we were being ‘overly sensitive.’ Can my mom sue the facility for the deficient care?”
