For most families, deciding to place a parent or other family member in a nursing home marks the start of a difficult transition. There is often an extended period of stress, guilt and concern as everyone in the family adjusts to the new living situation. These negative feelings can be eased by a sense of trust and security in the nursing home and its staff. But if a family member has suspicions of neglect, abuse or mistreatment from nursing home staff, it is impossible to feel secure in the choice to place a loved one in that facility.
Such suspicions led a New Jersey woman to conduct her own investigation of the Harborage nursing home in North Bergen, where her mother had lived for several years. After discovering bruises on her mother's body, the woman began to suspect that the 87-year-old had been a victim of nursing home abuse. The woman reported the bruises to nursing home officials and state officials, neither of which investigated the possibility of abuse. After realizing that she would have to look into the injuries herself, the woman hid a video camera in her mother's room at the Harborage nursing home in North Bergen.
About a month after the woman placed the 'nanny cam', her mother passed away. After the death, the woman reviewed the video tape, and was shocked at what she saw. The camera footage showed a nursing aide repeatedly striking the mother and removing her oxygen mask unnecessarily and without authorization.
The aide was fired from the facility, and was criminally charged with several crimes including assault, abandonment, and neglect of the elderly. She is not charged with contributing to the mother's death. The woman has announced that she will file a nursing home abuse lawsuit against several parties, including the nursing home and the aide.
If a member of your family has been the victim of nursing home abuse or neglect, please contact Breslin & Breslin for a free consultation.

The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad
and tested to see if it can survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is

Hello there, I do believe your web site may be having browser
compatibility problems. Whenever I take a look at your site in Safari, it looks fine
but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping issues.
I merely wanted to provide you with a quick heads up!
Aside from that, excellent site!

I had a quick question that I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing. I've
had a tough time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there.
I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes
are lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any
ideas or tips? Cheers!

I have been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any
interesting article like yours. It's pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.
