Nursing Home Negligence

Nursing Home Negligence

Families entrust nursing homes, assisted living and rehabilitation facilities with the care of their loved ones. These facilities should not harm our loved ones of make our loved ones worse off. Because these facilities are under pressure to make profit for their corporate entities, they can neglect, exploit and fail to care for their residents. Some examples include:

Neglect Of Basic Needs

If your loved one is malnourished, dehydrated or suffers injury from repeated falls, the facility is likely failing to do its job. Similarly, living in an unsafe or unsanitary environment is unacceptable. Call us today if your loved one suffered one of these or another condition in a facility that should have provided basic human needs.

Medical And Personal Hygiene Neglect

Our elderly are vulnerable to things that are unimaginable to us. Nursing homes and assisted living facilities are supposed to provide medical care and hygiene to our loved ones. When these facilities fail to provide medical and hygiene care properly, our loved ones can be harmed. These failures can lead to medical issues such as infections or bedsores. Call us if your loved one contracted infections, suffered bed sores or suffered other hygiene concerns at their facility.
