Alleged Nursing Home Abuse to be Kept Secret

State officials in Iowa have been advised to keep secret two judges’ descriptions of alleged nursing home abuse. The judges were ruling on a case where two supervisors at a nursing home were accused of failing to investigate allegations that a caregiver at the hoe was abusing residents. This case involved the two being placed on the database of alleged abusers, which is why the information about the abuse is being kept confidential.

Nursing home abuse should be taken seriously and handled as quickly as possible because someone’s life is in danger. When you trust in others to care for your loved ones, you should not have to suffer in learning that they have been emotionally, mentally, physically or sexually abused.

It’s in your best interest to work with a lawyer who can handle insurance companies, court proceedings and investigations.
