Excerpt from The Consumerist: (click for entire article)
The Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs in Michigan has cited two nursing homes for violations after a survey found two elderly women in their care had maggots in their throat and pubic areas. Now a watchdog group is investigating.
The Oakland Press reports that one of the cases involved a woman who could not move around or take care of her own hygiene. She also refused showers because they were too painful, but consented to bed baths.
Later the woman was taken to a hospital where it was discovered that she had an undiagnosed hip fracture that had been causing her the pain.
