After maggots were found on a patient, twice, state health officials want to revoke license of troubled healthcare facility

The Arizona Department of Health Services has reportedly announced its intention to revoke the license of a troubled medical facility for intellectually disabled patients that has been at the center of numerous, recent health code violations, including a shocking report from January revealing that an incapacitated woman was impregnated and had given birth while in the facility's care.

"The facility failed to implement policies and procedures related to allegations of abuse, neglect, mistreatment, and injuries of unknown origin," the report found."As a result, the facility placed... clients at increased risk for further neglect."uncovered a police investigation into a possible case of rape at the Phoenix facility after a woman in a vegetative state gave birth to a baby boy in late December.

In a subsequent inspection in April, state health officials reported that"there were no deficiencies cited."that staff at Hacienda discovered a"small number" of maggots on a patient, festering under a gauze bandage that had been placed near the patient's surgical incision.

For the entire staff not to recognize that a patient was pregnant for 9 MONTHS is gross neglect. I'm surprised it's still open

Is this a Socialist hospital?

'GrEaTEst hEalThCare SYstEM IN tHE WoRlD'.

I'm sure they aren't a normal medical treatment in nursing homes

Maggots clean wounds out

Health care in America.

This is the same place that had the vegetative woman give birth! SHUT IT DOWN.

Can't believe that the place is still in operation after the pregnancy issue!! They need to replace all staff there, get 'real', and trustworthy, nurses, to tend to families vulnerable loved ones!!

Actually maggots clean out wounds faster than surgeons... just sayin...

these places would become the norm under socialism

Want to? Just do it.

“We were using the maggots to clean wounds.” TrumpCare101

Twice? Good god!!!!!!

Rape, maggots, soon will see a horror trailer next October with the facility name as the title.
