Nursing Home Accident Blamed on Inadequate Training

A nursing home in St. Paul Minnesota is being blamed for the death of a resident. A woman had slipped out of a medical chair and hit her head on the floor. She died a few days later. It was found out that the two nurses had no training on how to use the lift. It was also stated that the nursing home did not have proper supervision and didn't require that their staff knew the proper techniques with the machines. If this was my family member I would be outraged at the nursing home. It it totally irresponsible and pathetic that this woman could still be alive. All nurses and nursing homes should have the proper training and supervision. This is yet another life that was taken too soon. Because of the negligence of the nurses, someone died. Although I am sure the nurses who were working with this lady feel terrible, it is the nursing home's fault that they did not have the proper training.
