Nursing Home Neglect, neglect, pressure ulcers, fall with injury, standard of care, skilled nursing facility, capacity disputes, medication errors, polypharmacy, sepsis recognition, failure to monitor, failure to escalate care, unsafe discharge, discharge plainning, failure to diagnose, long term care
I am a board-certified Physician Assistant with over 25 years of clinical experience specializing in geriatrics, home care, skilled nursing, and post-acute rehabilitation.
