The family of an 87-year-old man who was beaten by Texas City nursing home employees is calling for them to be arrested and charged.
Video shows two employees of Solidago Health and Rehabilitation dragging Cornelio Salinas across the floor, hitting and kicking him, and then tossing him on the bed.“You never think it’s going to happen to one of your family members,” his grandson, Lizandro Solis, said. “It’s sad.”“That’s no way to treat nobody, especially an elderly person with one leg. What is he going to do to you? How can he hurt you?” Solis said.The incident was reported to the Texas City Police Department.
Among the violations are allegations that the facility “failed to provide residents with care and services related to activities of daily living” and “failed to attain or maintain the highest practicable, physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being.”“HHSC is aware of the allegations involving this nursing facility and we are actively investigating to determine compliance with all relevant health and safety rules,” a spokesperson for the HHSC wrote in a statement to KPRC 2.
Salinas is expected to recover, but in the meantime, his family has a message for others with elderly relatives.According to the, elder abuse is one of the fastest-growing crimes in the country. Signs could include trouble sleeping, confusion or depression, or unexplained bruises, burns or scars. If you suspect elder abuse, you can report it to the Texas Department of Family Services at 1-800-252-5400.
