My moms snf hadn't been changing her briefs but once in 8 hours. She's total care . I've complained twice to administrators but it continued . She has skin breakdown from urine and stool. We have a camera in her room. What is the next step to take? File complaint with DHS?
Please call today and leave a message if you must, this is dangerous for your mom and the other vulnerable elders experiencing the lack of care from this facility.
I am so sorry you are faced with this crisis in care, and yes, this is a crisis that should force change.
Send your Complaint BY CERTIFIED MAIL to the Director and the Senior Staff Supervisor of the facility. In your letter, be specific. Dates, times, etc. Specify that you expect an Answer to your Complaint within 10 business days.
#2. If Complaint is not answered, send a Second Notice again by Certified Mail.
