In a shocking story from a Albert Lea Nursing home workers passed the time by “having fun” with 15 residents. Sexually touching, beating and gagging them being a daily activity. Hubert Humphrey talked about the way a society is doing could be judged by the way they cared for their elderly. This story is a horrid story of that treatment at it’s lowest.

Nursing Homes are often medical necessary for many families. They can be very expensive. They are the residents homes surrounded by professionals in charge of caring for them. The place they should always feel safe.

If you have a family member in a nursing home , it is important to look around on each visit. Be vigilante in certain areas. Look for signs of Physical Abuse, Neglect, and Verbal/Emotional abuse. If you see signs of abuse:

  • Contact the Nursing Home Administrator and tell them your concerns.
  • Contact the Minnesota Board of Aging.
  • Contact the police department in the municipality where the abuse occurred.

It’s important that we protect all of those that have contributed to society and who are the most vulnerable.
