Nursing Home Abuse Cases: Proceed With Caution

One of the problems with nursing homes is that they are commonly understaffed, and the employees are poorly trained. As you can imagine, this becomes a major issue for residents, because they depend on the staff for the basic essentials of life, like food, water, medicine, toileting, grooming, interaction, and mobility. 

When a nursing home fails to provide treatment, care, goods, or services necessary to maintain a resident's health to the best of its ability, the facility may be negligent. Examples of nursing home negligence include: 

  • Failing to provide food or water or failing to prevent malnutrition or dehydration.
  • Failing to assist in personal hygiene.
  • Failing to provide safe, clean, and decent living conditions.
  • Failing to provide adequate treatment and services for incontinent residents (when they can't control going to the bathroom).
  • Failing to provide appropriate supervision and assistive devices to prevent accidents.
  • Failing to provide adequate medical care and acquire and dispense proper medications, as well as failing to ensure that residents are victims of serious medication errors.
  • Failing to prevent a resident from developing pressure sores; or, if a resident already has pressure sores, failing to provide proper treatment to promote healing.

Info to Gather To Help Us Evaluate Your Claim
