BENSENVILLE WOMEN CHARGED WITH NEGLECT IN NURSING HOME DEATH.

I red in Chicago- Tribune about the death of 89 year old woman, Sera Wentworth. She suffered from Alzheimer’s disease. She left her room and wandered into the fatal weather conditions, wearing only a nightgown and after about 90 minutes, she died. It is not easy to keep track of people with Alzheimer’s but then somebody would have checked on her when the door alarm sounded. Secondly, Registered nurses should also be on duty that may be in the better position to help instead of CNAS.Above all, the best place for people who suffer with Alzheimer’s disease is to stay in their own home with 24 hours caregiver who will be taking care of them very well

  1. Being able to stay in one's home is always the best option, but often it can't work that way. I agree with you. I think it's tragic.

    Good work.
