Georgia Adult Protective Services is taking action against caregiver abuse in nursing homes, with reports of neglect, physical harm, and inadequate care. Key cases involve facilities like Northeast Atlanta Health and Wellness Center, leading to immediate firings and investigations. Incidents include ignoring hygiene needs, using force, and verbal threats. Over a dozen tips triggered the sweeps, leaving families heartbroken and calling for stricter oversight. New findings show at least five substantiated cases, with terminations and criminal charges. Georgia is pushing for training mandates and unannounced checks to prevent future abuse.
