What Is Nursing Home Negligence?
Most nursing homes are staffed by caring and professional staff who provide attentive care to their residents. However, nursing homes are businesses, and some have made a business decision to reduce costs by hiring untrained staff or by deliberate understaffing. The result can be neglect and abuse of residents.
Examples of injuries that can result from understaffing or a lack of supervision include:
- Falls resulting in broken bones
- Bedsores caused by not moving an immobile patient
- Injuries caused by a patient wandering away from the facility
- Emergency room visits caused by dehydration or malnutrition
- Overmedicating patients
- Prescription drug errors
- Injuries caused restraints
Our lawyers will consult experts, including people who have worked in nursing homes, who can determine if your loved one's injury was the result of normal aging process or the result of neglect.
