I am sorry for the abuse Francisca Arce suffered at Central Baptist Village, Inc.
ReplyDeleteI hope she gets justice!
Not only do nursing homes have deep pockets but they share the contents with the legislooters!
ReplyDeleteThe treatment helpless people endure by nursing home "caregivers" is many times horrendous.
ReplyDeleteRemember in CA last year a group of seven aids were having "fun" at the expense of the patients in a nursing home --- in effect torturing them?
What a society we live in.
Hope the family wins.
