State Investigators Respond Slowly to Nursing Home Abuse

In San Antonio, Texas it seems to be that state investigators are responding slowly to claims of nursing home abuse. There have been more than 2,200 claims of abuse, neglect and bad medical care in the 55 licensed nursing homes in the last three years. However, many cases are showing that while cases are reported to state investigators, those investigators are arriving later, weeks after the deadline imposed under state rules.

It’s important that nursing home abuse cases are taken seriously and that those who are guilty of the abuse are held responsible for their actions. You do have rights that should be protected and options if you need to move forward with a case. It’s in your best interest to pursue a nursing home abuse case because you should be able to afford further health care that you currently need.
