Nursing Home Cases
Nursing Home Cases
Nursing homes, assisted living facilities, home healthcare companies, group homes, and hospitals all have unique responsibilities when they care for older adults. These facilities and organizations promote wellness, patient care, and safety, but oftentimes what goes on behind the scenes is the complete opposite. The number of complaints associated with elder neglect increases each year. Below is a list of the most common types of errors and negligence found in nursing homes:
- Failure to prevent bedsores from occurring and/or deteriorating
- Failure to prevent falls
- Failure to treat injuries associated with falls
- Delayed hospital transfer after a fall
- Failure to identify and treat serious health conditions like sepsis
Unfortunately, it is common to see situations like understaffing, overcrowding, lack of supervision, lack of training, unsanitary conditions, and overall poor conditions that lead the most vulnerable among us exposed to neglect and abuse.
We help you get to the root of your case, identify issues and set you on a path to help this population that is especially worthy of protections.
We Focus your case
We can help you sift through the records and see the parts of the case that truly matter. It is common that defendants in these situations point to comorbid conditions, pre-existing trauma, or injuries and even patient non-compliance. However, our nurses help you wade through that and focus your case where it should be focused – on the defendant.
