@wafb9: After the WAFB I-TEAM’s report on White Oak Post Acute Care aired Tuesday, the floodgates opened. We’ve since heard from multiple people who say their loved ones experienced serious problems at the Baton Rouge nursing home. Now, another family is sharing their story. Sky Wheeler says her sister, Lisa Smith, died at White Oak in March and alleges neglect played a role in her death. #wafb #louisiana
I blame the family also for not caring to go check on the family member! They neglected that family member also!

One big problem with nursing home checks is that they are told when agencies are coming for evaluations. What should be dome is surprise visits to catch them unaware.

I'm an EMT & picked a patient up one day for an outpatient procedure. I knew as soon as I assessed her that something was terribly wrong. When I got her to the hospital, the doctor had me bring her straight to the ER because she was in end-stage sepsis. I don't think she ever made it out of the hospital that day. Sadly, I see similar situations at almost every NH that I have to visit. I'm also an LPN & I would pick up garbage before I worked at a NH. They're awful!!

I Know of someone that works in a nursing home says she has reported the issues of the nursing home. She marks her patients diapers when she change them and when she come back to to work patients are still in same diapers soaked. This situation has really gotten out of hand. So sad ….

One of my patients this week who lives at White Oak Nursing Home told me the staff there “blow down” with patients😳😳😳😳 then one of my OT coworkers worked there for 5 shifts and she said the linens are ancient, in very poor shape and as an OT who helps people bathe, they had limits on how many linens they could use. I’m so sad for those residents😢

This is horrible! These nursing homes need to get their act together. A lot of people don’t have any family to check on them. If the staff won’t do their job then FIRE THEM!!!! There are a lot of people that need a job

Nursing homes in this state need ridget guidelines and inspections. The state needs hot lines for them. The horror stories in this state of Nursing home at this point we should have the highest standards with shut down abilities. Shame on all the excuses for not having the best.

You know what’s a story. Schools. How difficult would it be for you to spend a day at the primary school with which I work? I’m not going to even tell you anything. Just come and spend a day with us. You’ll see what’s happening. PARENTS need to know what’s happening because teachers are not being heard. Parents are not realizing what their children are being exposed to.
