More Nursing Home Abuse/Neglect Concern from TN

Drastic nursing home abuse and nursing home neglect legislative reform is being proposed in TN. PR-Inside.com recently reported that State Sen. Jim Tracy (R-Shelbyville) and state Rep. Randy Rinks (D-Savannah) introduced the bill last week that would severely restrict the rights of nursing home victims and their families to seek relief for nursing home abuse/death. This appears to be regardless of how serious the injury or violation of law. The type of neglect and abuse recently documented in TN nursing homes, the story says, ranges from maggots in wounds to untreated broken bones to rape. This is pretty scary stuff. Nursing home lawyers in North Carolina and elsewhere should be concerned about this trend, in terms of the negative effect it will have on relief for their clients abused, injured and/or killed in (or by) nurinsg homes. The nursing home industry is well-financed, particularly with some of the private equity invesetment we are seeing as to some of the larger more profitable groups.
