We are reminded today of the pain that misuse and abuse of social media can cause to Residents, Patients and their family members – and the financial damage it can deliver to Nursing Homes and Rehabilitation Centers!
As reported on McKnight’s, a retirement community in Illinois is facing a lawsuit after inappropriate photos of memory care residents were shared by one of the provider’s own social media accounts and the ex-boyfriend of a former employee on Facebook.
“The photos reportedly depicted partially nude residents “toileting, bathing, resting in bed” or placed in other humiliating situations, the suit claims.”
