Pennsylvania Veterans Home Conditions Considered "Dangerous" To Residents
After a Freedom of Information Request, the Pittsburgh Tribune Review recently received a year- old report concerning living conditions at the Philadelphia Veterans Affairs nursing home. The report, which included horrible details of patient neglect, such as one male resident with black toes and maggots falling out of his foot, prompted massive changes at the facility.
VA spokesman Dale Warman said, "This situation occurred more than a year ago. Leadership took swift action to correct these problems and insure the staff at the nursing home is competent, dedicated, and ready to care for America's veterans." Since the report was issued, the nursing home has purchased new equipment, began a $10 million renovation, and brought in wound care specialists.
