Deaf Nightmare in Nursing Home
My grandmother was 88 and born deaf. At age 88 she was placed in a Nursing Home because she could not care for herself anymore and was wheel-chair bound. 2 years later, she began to have incontinence. They put a Foley catheter in her so she did not require diaper changing. We visited her on a weekly basis and she began to tell us she hurt. When we asked the Nursing Home personnel what the Dr. had said about her pain, he only said it was due to arthritis. They never provided her an interpreter, only family members could communicate with her in sign language.
