WABE/stock

Georgia's Department of Community Health recently announced that it has a backlog of around 200 complaints filed against nursing homes across the state, covering issues from dirty bathrooms to patients developing bed sores. 

This week on the Georgia Health Report, Lauren and Andy discuss how the nursing shortage is linked to the backlog and the complaints themselves.
