Medication errors are rampant, facilities are under-staffed and unsanitary.
Patient neglect, substandard care and injuries from dangerous products, procedures or restraints are only a few of the dangers. The administrators of these facilities would say that the level of care in Texas nursing homes is excellent. However, state investigators and Texas juries have been sending a different message. Most often, there is no other choice. This difficult decision is always made with the understanding and trust that the facility will render optimum care but, unfortunately, that is not always the case.
