Signs of nursing home abuse and neglect may be difficult to detect — families need monitor the condition of nursing home residents. If you suspect that a loved one suffers from an injury caused by the negligence of a nursing home, you need to act quickly.
Some of the more common types of injuries caused by nursing home negligence are:
- Failure to provide and monitor medications
- Bedsores and pressure ulcers
- Preventable infections
- Malnutrition and dehydration
- Slip and falls
- Wrongful death
The abuse or neglect of a loved one in a nursing home is never justified. These facilities must adhere to strict levels of care, because of the vulnerable nature of these residents. When callousness or neglect leads to a serious injury or death, they should be held liable.
