When a nursing home fails to provide patients with the care they require, it can sometimes result in injury or even death. In these cases, the patient and their family could file a claim for injury compensation or wrongful death through their local law firm.
What your family can expect from The Barnes Firm:
If you believe that a family member has been the victim of nursing home negligence or abuse, call our lawyers immediately for a FREE legal consultation.
Becoming familiar with the different kinds of neglect and abuse that are common in nursing homes can be critical to recognizing negligence when it occurs. Some of the different types include:
Every nursing home is required to provide residents with a certain standard of care that families can expect and rely on. When such a standard of care is not provided, it might be considered nursing home negligence.
Any kind of violence is illegal. If somebody has been physically abused while residing at a nursing home, the police should be contacted. In such cases, it is also prudent to get in touch with an experienced San Diego nursing home neglect attorney at The Barnes Firm.
These are the most common injuries that occur in nursing homes, and they are almost always preventable. Every nursing home has a duty to provide patients with a safe environment that minimizes any risk of falls.
It is always vital to keep a healthy diet. This is particularly true for those who need assisted care. Nursing homes must train their staff members to provide all residents with a well-balanced diet.
Infections can weaken a person’s immune system, making them susceptible to other diseases and illnesses. Infections must be treated immediately, or they can have dire consequences.
This can mean the incorrect dosage of a medication, or the wrong medication altogether. Either way, a patient can become severely ill if medications are not properly administered.
Maintaining good hygiene plays a critical role in one’s health. Every nursing home should have a strict cleaning schedule, and bathrooms and bedrooms should be regularly cleaned and sanitized according to specific guidelines.
Any threats of harm or violence in a nursing home must be taken seriously and immediately reported.
Diabetes is a common illness, and it frequently requires special care. When the necessary care is not provided, a resident can suffer kidney disease, kidney failure, and other consequences.
Without adequate water, a person’s body can suffer from dehydration within hours. It is crucial for nursing home staff members to provide all residents with the proper fluids.
This is a type of infection that affects the whole body. In some cases, a person can go into septic shock, which can be potentially deadly.
If one of your family members has experienced any of these conditions or symptoms while residing in a nursing home, contact our law firm immediately or call us to speak directly with one of our San Diego nursing home neglect attorneys.
There are many red flags to be aware of that can signal nursing home abuse and neglect. Some of the most common warning signs include:
