NURSING HOME NEGLIGENCE
|
A nursing home is supposed to provide nursing care and rehabilitation services to people with short-term or long-term illness or disabilities. In most cases, everyone at nursing home receives appropriate health care. However, sometimes one may get improper treatment or negligence at a nursing home or long-term care facility. When that happens, she/he needs experienced and compassionate legal assistance.
Nursing home negligence can occur due to malpractice of nurses, therapists and other staffs. It may include bed sores, broken bones, open wounds, cuts, bruises, welts, and/or skin discoloration or deterioration, dehydration, malnutrition, physical abuse, verbal abuse, slip & fall injuries, use of restraints for discipline or convenience, negligence by doctors, nurses, nursing assistants, therapists and administrators.
Charging for services that were never delivered, attracting residents with various marketing gimmicks but not providing one can also be considered as nursing home negligence. Similarly, unnecessary investigation of diseases or prescription of drugs can also be regarded as nursing home negligence.
