State Representatives Back At Senior Nursing Home Hartley Hall


State Investigators have not only returned again to Hartley Hall, they've been there since Monday but lips are tight as to their findings. What I can tell you as an update as that the mental patient who had been repeatedly exposing himself is still at the facility. Some Nurses refused to return to the job and others are being retaliated against for exposing the TRUTH.

That's what the patient was doing "EXPOSING the truth".

I would refuse to return to the job too. Stay on it Investigators.

Hartley should be shut down and the head administrator should be fired without further incident. Why is he being allowed to continue on, intimidating people who spoke out with the truth? Desperate people go to desperate measures.

IF the Truth could only " come out" as
to how patients are really treated in
"All" Nursing Homes with in 40 mile
of SBY. You all would be shocked. I
spent some time in what is suppose to
be one of the Best here in Salisbury and
I can tell you------you do not have good
care!!! Some help steal , lie and totally
ignore patients. It's horrible unless you
have someone going to see you twice a day
to help attend to your needs . God help
the ones who are bed ridden!!!
I hope/pray I live long enough to see Video
cameras put in ALL Nursing Homes!! There
is soooooo much abuse going on in them &
if the patient is ask how they've been
treated, they are to afraid to reply!

3:28 PM Yup and that "best" here in smallsbury also ripped them and their insurance company off financially. When I was asked to bill for patients that were not in the facility certain days, and I said no, I was shortly thereafter fired

The small care homes are not staffed at all hours. There are able men walking the halls in these homes where women are waiting to die and unable to speak or defend themselves. If something could go wrong it probably does.

I worked in a Nursing Home for over 20 yrs. We were always understaffed (staff challenged) overworked and unappreciated. The administration could care less about staff concerns. As for residents, as long as they were private pay or had family around regularly they could pretty well get anything they wanted. Others were treated as an afterthought. Many of the Nurses and staff were very compassionate. Others were just there to get a paycheck and do as little as possible. Working in a Nursing Home is very hard work and only certain people are meant to do this work. If you have a caring staff but an administration that only cares about filling beds and not about the residents needs it is not the place I want my love one. Unfortunately that is Nursing Homes are about today.
