Report: Maggots Found On Nursing Home Residents

A watchdog group is blowing the whistle on a government agency, citing two cases in which maggots were discovered on nursing home patients and equipment. Tom Masseau with the Michigan Protection and Advocacy Services says the state isn’t doing enough to protect nursing home residents. A report by the MPAS documented that, at a nursing home in Washtenaw County, maggots were found to be infesting in and around a female resident’s catheter area. According to a survey, the resident was then reportedly not given a shower until several hours later.
