Can we sue the hospital here? (please read details)

Asked by trailsillustrated (16799points) July 2nd, 2010

My dad is 86— he was in a specialty hospital recovering from a fall, infection. He was there for 36 days. He claimed he had met a ‘nurse’, that he felt he has a special connection with. We found out recently that its a nurse’s aid, and that he has been sending her money. He also told us that she would ‘spend the night in his room’, and that this was observed by other members of the hospital staff. Isn’t there something wrong here? She is 28 years old. His wife is in her late 90’s and they both still live at home. We fear this nurse aid is financially exploiting him. Couldn’t we sue the hospital or something?
