I agree with Mr. Lemmons. What you are describing sounds like neglect. You should consult an Attorney ASAP.

Re: elder abuse / nursing home abuse

The patient is being subjected to neglect and abuse that is most certainly actionable. Immediately report the situation to the state regulatory agencies, the Social Services depts, the police, the DA, the AG, and get an attorney to help bring administrative, civil and criminal charges, and to help find a way of getting the patient out of the situation. Feel free to contact me for the legal help that will be needed. Elder abuse must not be tolerated or allowed to go unpunished.
