New Nursing Home Complaint Hotline Established

By Jack H. FarnbauchSeptember 7, 2017

The Nursing Home Complaint Center is calling upon the family of a victim of sepsis, septic shock, broken bones or severe physical abuse to call them anytime at 866-714-6466 if these potentially-life threatening injuries occurred at a nursing home.

The Nursing Home Complaint Center believes that nursing home short staffing is one of the leading causes of sepsis, severe injuries or wrongful death. If a nursing home is not properly staffed, it is virtually hospital impossible for the facility to maintain the health and well being of its residents. It's not at all unusual for the family of a nursing home resident to find out about a potentially fatal infection (sepsis) or a severe injury caused by the negligence of nursing home staff from a hospital ER physician-not the nursing home.
