Tony Evers is running his "Aw Shucks, I'm Nice" commercials.
But if you're a veteran and in Tony's veterans' home in Union Grove, well.........
The state-run veterans home at Union Grove was cited for six violations in its latest yearly inspection − including several repeats of recurring issues − adding to a laundry list of violations leveled against the facility in the last five years.
A Milwaukee Journal Sentinel investigation in May found the Union Grove home was one of the most troubled state veterans homes in the nation, according to an analysis of data from the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The Union Grove home ranked in the top five out of 117 CMS-certified veterans homes for having the most violations and fines, the Journal Sentinel analysis found.
Past violations include failing to keep residents hydrated, not investigating patient abuse, infection control issues, medication mistakes, poor food and not doing enough to keep residents from falling. Residents and family members said care has declined as leadership frequently changed and the home struggles with chronic understaffing....
It is noteworthy that Tony Evers' principal advertiser, the "news" pages of Little Local Pravda, pushed out this story before the election.
