Lawyers for Abused & Neglected at Barbour Court Nursing and Rehabilitation Center
Many of the problems associated with mistreatment occurring in assisted-living facilities in nursing homes are the result of a lack of trained personnel, minimal supervision, or understaffing. In these incidents, the needs of the residents are often ignored; they suffer serious injuries from a fall or develop life-threatening bedsores. Other residents wander away from the facility due to a lack of supervision.

- Failure to Protect Every Resident from All Forms of Abuse Including Physical and Sexual Assault, Physical Punishment, and Neglect by Anybody – citation #F600 date April 15, 2019
The state investigators determined the nursing home "failed to prevent physical and verbal abuse for [one resident] reviewed for abuse. During the provision of care, a staff member was heard and observed yelling at a resident to stand up even though the resident was assessed as not having the ability to stand without staff assistance.”
During the incident, “the resident grabbed a staff member to prevent [themselves] from falling and the staff member responded by shaking the resident.” After the incident, “the resident complained of increased pain. Pain medication was changed from ‘as needed’ to routine administration.”
The resident stated that during the incident, the nurse “asked him to stand up so she could change him. During the process he felt like he was going to fall.” The resident stated that “he reached out to grab something to prevent his fall [and indicated that he informed the nurse] that nursing staff do not check him standing up.”
The resident stated that he did not “realize what he was grabbing. [The resident] said he just did not want to fall.” The resident said that the nurse “shook him so hard for touching her, he fell to his bed.”
The nurse indicated in a Nurse’s Note that the resident “grabbed my right breast and shirt, pulled me to him, and swung me with his right hand, while yelling he knew the catheter was in his prostate and ‘I could go myself.’”
The nurse indicated that “she told the resident that the tubing was not stuck, and he started yelling at her with profanity. The resident then took his left arm and grabbed her shirt and chest.”
