Oklahoma man abused, neglected

August 20th, 2008 by Wendi Lewis

Some disturbing allegations of abuse and neglect are aimed at an Oklahoma nursing home, according to a report yesterday by KOTV in Tulsa. The station reports that family members of 41-year-old James Curnutt say the man was raped and abused while living at a nursing home facility in Jones, Okla., near Oklahoma City.

According to the news story, the abuse occurred at the Oak Hills Living Center from August 2007 through February 2008.

In addition to the abuse, family members say Curnutt was neglected, left in soiled bedding and clothing.

KOTV quotes Curnutt’s father, Richard Curnutt, as saying, “He’s incontinent. Been left wet. Been left dirty. I’ve had to go down and say, ‘please change James.’”
