I received a call recently from a woman whose mother was in the Kindred nursing home and Rehab Center in Great Barrington, Massachusetts.
She claimed her mother suffered injuries on her arms. She believed her mother was hit by someone.
The woman stated she called the state department of public health (DPH) to file a formal complaint.
This nursing home had a rating of 3 stars out of 5 on a recent web survey.
Our advice is always the same though: remove your loved one from a nursing home if you have concerns about their care or believe there has been neglect.
Our website has a free booklet explaining the rights of nursing home residents and is free at: http://malpractice.blogspot.com/ and http://www.hamill-law.com/Guide%20stop%20abuse.pdf
