Nursing home employee fondles resident during bath
Tulsa World had an article discussing another nursing home employee accused of sexually assaulting a nursing home resident. Something needs to be done about the hiring practices of these nursing homes. There are hundreds of incidents like this every year. It is disgusting and the nursing home industry ignores and covers up the problem. I think videotaping should be the norm in nursing homes despite the alleged privacy issues that may arise.
The article states that a nursing home worker was charged with caretaker abuse amid accusations that he sexually assaulted a resident he was bathing. Edward Lee Marshall faces a felony charge of sexual abuse by a caretaker after allegedly fondling a physically and mentally disabled man at the Southtown Nursing Home. He was arrested after an honest nurse reported the allegation, police said. Marshall worked as a restorative aide and provided various types of "therapy" to residents. Marshall was giving a blind patient a bath when the abuse is alleged to have occurred, police said.
