Was It Abuse at Oklahoma Nursing Home?

Carol Crow's family thought she was safe at Whispering Pines Nursing Home in Norman, Oklahoma - until she was found covered with bruises on her face neck, and shoulders, as well as two black eyes - now they want answers. The facility workers told her family that Mrs. Crow had gone into her room and fell on July 11, 2008, but Mrs. Crow told her family an entirely different story. Mrs. Crow alleges that a man knocked her down, got on top of her, and beat her until she was unconscious. While Mrs. Crow does have early onset Alzheimer's disease, she was very clear about what happened to her. The Crow family contacted the Department of Human Services, who declined to investigate as they found no indication of abuse.

The Crow family, working in conjunction with A Perfect Cause, an advocacy group, is offering a $2,500 reward for any information as to what happened to Mrs. Crow that day. Mrs. Crow has been moved to a 24 hour care facility in Muskogee, Oklahoma.
