Are all nursing homes required to have an on call interrupter for the deaf or Hispanic people?
Question by 1magicmom: Are all nursing homes required to have an on call interrupter for the deaf or Hispanic people?
You have a loved one (any age ) in a nursing or rest home. You get a call telling you this person who was moved to another section of the “home” has taken a turn for the worse. You get there and the person is dehydrated among other things; and of course having problems with their kidneys, they are in pain.
The reason the person has been moved to where they became in such a condition is because they supposedly were not being compliant with the rehabilitation side of the nursing home. This place has within the last 6 months or year changed management hands.
No one could read or understand sign language, so they assumed the person was being belligerent or flat refusing to comply with the things done for rehabilitation. No one called the family it seems until this person became deathly sick. They are now in the hospital and it is touch and go with blood pressure, and many other problems.
Hospitals, doctors offices,rehabilitation centers in hospitals have them, police, sheriffs, courts etc. have on call interrupters…so aren’t nursing homes required as well?
Isn’t this neglect on the part of the nursing home/rehabilitation center? Once they decided to call family about this, the family informed them the patient had been trying to tell them that they were in pain and needed help. Those “signed pleas for help” went unheard so to speak by the people there in th nursing home.
Where does the patient/family stand on this situation?
Where does the nursing home/rehabilitation center stand in this situation?:
Any insight/help would be appreciated.
How about people with disabilities in general?? Any input that would be helpful would be appreciated.

I would think those special circumstances would be discussed prior to the patient even being moved in there. They probably are not required to have special staff members available, that would fall under the patients (or family of the patient’s) responsibility because the cost would be in addition to normal care. But again, that sort of things needs to be addressed and understood before the patient moves in there.
