A Vietnam War veteran is bruised and battered and his family believes that the Jones nursing home where he was staying is responsible. According to a KFOR<\/em> news report, his wife found him one day turned to the wall of his room crying. When questioned, he claimed that the care provider balled up her fist and took a swing at him. His family reported the abuse but received no positive response from the nursing home’s administrators. <\/p>\n

They man’s family has since taken him home and the director of the facility claims that the abuse is under investigation. The wife of the injured veteran says that the facility could not explain where the bruises on his stomach came from and that she worries for the many other residents who live in that facility. She is now working with a local advocate to learn about her options. <\/p>\n

This type of situation is all too common in Oklahoma nursing homes and it often goes unreported. If no one visited the victim that week, the bruises may have healed and this type of behavior may have continued. According to the National Center on Elder Abuse, between 7.6 and 10 percent of elderly participants questioned in a recent study say they experienced abuse in the past year. In a separate study, the New York State Elder Abuse Prevalence Study found that there are 24 unknown cases of abuse for every reported incident. <\/p>\n

It is possible to hold negligent Oklahoma nursing homes<\/a> accountable for neglect and abuse. Filing a personal injury claim is often the best way to hold the nursing home liable and to prevent future incidents. An experienced Oklahoma nursing home abuse lawyer can help victims and families fight for their rights and hold the wrongdoers accountable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
