Locals pushing for changes in nursing homes across Virginia after neglect investigations
Commonwealth’s Attorney, family talking to lawmakers about changes they say are needed
Updated:
ROANOKE, Va. – Some locals are pushing for changes in nursing homes at the state level.
As we told you first on 10 News, charges aren’t being filed after an investigation into a Roanoke nursing home but that’s not stopping some people who want more.
Changes could be coming for how your loved ones are taken care of, if Donald Caldwell and Julie Parsons get what they want.
“Virginia apparently is among many other states that provides little guidance within the law about the standards of care that are required for nursing homes or assisted living facilities. That presents a problem for criminal prosecution in that you don’t have a standard in which to gauge what has been done or not done,” said Caldwell, Roanoke City Commonwealth Attorney.
