"If I read this correctly, that bill leaves something out - fingerprints for the employees of non-nursing government-supported senior and disabled housing. If you look at the HUD requirements, for example, all of the residents have to have at least background checks. But not, when I last looked, the management or staff or contractors.
Many people in that kind of housing are every bit as vulnerable to abuse as those in nursing homes. Not a few have used such housing for hospice. It is not that hard to cause an elder on oxygen or with a heart condition to die from stress if abused. Partly as a result of lax oversight of that housing, drug theft is rampant, especially of prescription narcotics.
If employees and contractors of semi-private and public housing had to be fingerprinted and checked out, maybe even the Tulsa Police Department, which has claimed to be uninterested in senior deaths unless beaten and bloody, would start to take notice."
