Negligent Treatment Can Happen Anywhere

Seniors who do not need ongoing licensed medical care may reside in assisted living facilities. These facilities provide shelter and assist with basic needs. Nursing homes are meant for patients who need a higher level of medical care.

Many of the same issues plague nursing homes and assisted living facilities, however. To keep costs low, many of these facilities are staffed with the minimum number of required nurses and nurses' aides. Inadequate staffing and understaffing often leads to negligent care, which can cause issues such as:

• Physical, mental and emotional abuse
• Sexual assault
• Falls
• Broken hips
• Dehydration
• Malnutrition
• Medication errors
• Transportation injuries
• Restraint injuries
• Wandering off and elopement

No one wants their loved ones to be in the care of poorly trained or inexperienced staff who are expected to care for too many residents. Speak with a lawyer today to learn how we may be able to help you.
