The Highsmith Derricott - Stop! Nursing Home Abuse and the Neglect Act.

The first step toward addressing this crisis is to create a Bill. From our personal experiences and research, we have learned to identify the causes of this problematic phenomenon. Many people have pleaded for help to end this problem. However, they have been left hopelessly stranded due to their lack of resources. This lack of transparency and accountability within our healthcare systems is a significant concern.

The main reason why most families or individuals have not received assistance is unclear. Patients in need of care have been denied proper medical attention. Some stories are being reported about patients suffering severe neglect, being left in their feces, or developing severe bed sores and other various forms of chronic neglect.

Therefore, they were left to die alone without treatment or from unexplained causes. This would mean a great deal for families and individuals with no one else to care for them; future changes would occur. This includes ensuring that laws are effective for families facing this reality of abuse, who would receive compensation and/or legal assistance.

Immediate changes to nursing home care and the best practices for rehabilitation are necessary. It’s time for our government leaders to act against this terrible abuse and neglect. We can no longer ignore the existence of this issue.

Please sign this petition and support us in our efforts to protect citizens and alleviate the suffering of those needing help. For those who feel overwhelmed in their roles within the health care system, “Get Help!” Seek support to improve your work. Consider resigning if the pressure is too much. Many “CARE” givers are not taking their jobs seriously enough and lack empathy, which creates a barrier to recovery.
