  • Nursing-Home Negligence

    March 30, 2016

    One of the most distressing accidents that can happen to a helpless person who lives in a care-giving institution is nursing-home negligence. If you suspect that a person dear to you is being neglected in a nursing home, contact a personal injury attorney without delay. The population of nursing-homes has a right to be treated with care and respect, live in safe and comfortable conditions and receive proper medical attention. When injuries occur, they can have enormous impact on vulnerable people. A serious injury lawyer can assist families of victims to get compensation for such injuries.

    Common Issues in Nursing Homes

    Nursing homes are meant to be places where people – old, young, mentally or physically challenged – can live a life of dignity whatever their financial circumstances and health condition. They expect to receive care, respect, good nutrition,  emotional and physical safety in a place where their individual preferences/requirements are recognized and accommodated.

    Some common issues in nursing-homes are:

    • Inattentive or rude staff
    • Poor service
    • Untrained personnel
    • Nutritional quality and selection of food
    • Lack of facilities to interact with family or friends
    • Noisy environment
    • Medical errors
    • Medical neglect of existing health issues
    • Emotional/social deprivation
    • Neglect of personal hygiene
    • Unsafe environment – slippery floors, dangerous bathrooms, unsafe dining rooms
    • Heightened risk of catching infections
    • Injuries from slip/trip and fall
    • Malnutrition/Dehydration
    • Inadequate supervision, leading to quarrels and arguments among residents

    If you notice signs of any of these issues cropping up in your loved ones who are admitted in a nursing home, find a personal injury attorney who has handled similar cases before. A free consultation  injury lawyer can examine the circumstances of your claim and evaluate them for compensation against those responsible for nursing home negligence.

    What To Expect In Good Nursing Homes 

    Before selecting a nursing home, ensure that you make a list of your own expectations, the person’s unique needs and wants, health condition, financial and social status and do your research thoroughly before you choose the right one.

    Some of the things that good nursing homes are expected to be include:

    • Located close to family/friends
    • Insurance/Medicaid/Medicare certified
    • Required level of care available
    • Special services for dementia, Alzheimer’s, etc
    • Trained and licensed 24×7 staff
    • Background checks on staff
    • On-call doctor and nurses
    • Pleasant, clean and safe environment
    • Good response time from staff
    • Well-maintained premises
    • Adequate leisure activities
    • Purpose-built architecture
    • Food and entertainment choices

    How We Can Assist
