(14,779 posts)I know the Federal regulations and Statures that apply to them. Something is wrong here. Under the law as written this should NEVER have happened. Those patients should NEVER have been without a care giver with as least a nurse aide training. Furthermore a LPN should have been on duty all of the time (and a registered nurse somewhere in staff).
When the staff left the state should have immediately stepped in. For some reason the state did not. 911 stepped in and that is funded NOT by Welfare but Homeland Security. Something is very wrong in this case and people should go to jail. The two that stayed committed minor crimes and I do NOT see them being charged (I pointed out that the crimes they did were technical crimes, no intent to do anything criminal was shown by their actions). On the other hand leaving people who you had agreed to take care of is a violation of Federal law (Through it is only dealing with funding for nursing home) and state laws (which may include some criminal elements).
My original statement still holds true, something is wrong her, what it is I do not know, but I know enough that something went wrong big time.
