Maggots have been discovered in the eye socket of a 76-year-old man under the care of a Gainesville nursing home with ownership ties to Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast, his outraged daughter said.

A state investigation is under way.

"It's absolutely inexcusable," Patrice Ripley said. "Quite frankly, I'm angry."

Her father, John Stumpp, had been under the care of Gainesville Health Care Center when the maggots were found in an examination at a Veterans Administration facility, according to Ripley.

An unannounced AHCA inspection of the Gainesville Health Care Center on Aug. 18 cited the nursing home for failing to notify a doctor of problems carrying out a physician's order to change an unidentified resident's eye bandages twice a day.

The resident was often uncooperative and refused to allow staff to change his dressing on the second shift 43 out of 57 times, the ACHA report said. The nursing home was required to notify the resident's doctor or legal representative, according to the AHCA.

Sure, it's their fault since the nursing home failed to report a doctor, but it all started with the old guy being a dick. The family is just getting royally upset by this to get more money out of them.

They sue the nursing home for sick amounts because its america, they will have to get money out of someplace so cutbacks everywhere, then who will take care of the ol' folks? Their relatives? not a chance. So the people who didn't bitch about getting clothed and actually nursed in a nursing home will end up getting worse care.

Not to say it wasn't disgusting that they found maggots in the guys eye.

That is just aweful!!! So, true though, most nursing homes do not have the staff that is needed.
