Nursing-home probe finds widespread deficiencies nationwide
Federal unanounced inspections of 295 nursing homes across 48 states revealed 64 percent with multiple fire safety violations and 44.3 percent of residents given tranquilizers. Other findings include 15.8 percent needing dental care, 9.5 percent with bed sores, and 74 percent lacking bladder and bowel training. HEW plans a May summary and state-by-state detail later.
