TopicNursing Home & Child Care Oversite
ContentAn independent watch-dog group made up of private individuals that would regularly conduct independent walk-throughs in Nursing Homes and Child Care facilities to observe activities, cleanliness and patient treatment. Their purpose would be to hold the DHS accountable for follow-up on a more timely and less non-chalant basis. There are too many instances of abuse, neglect and even death of children and elderly in Oklahoma. Workers in nursing homes and day cares centers should be subject to periodic psychological examinations to assure that their stress levels are monitored and dealt with. They should also be on some kind of time off scheduling to reduce drudgery and stress build-up. And their prior work history should be critically reviewed before they are hired or permitted to continue.
