Nursing home negligence is a serious issue that can lead to physical and emotional harm for vulnerable residents. This blog post explores the common types of nursing home negligence and how the Tomczak Law Group can help victims and their families. The post explains that neglect can take many forms, including malnutrition, falls and fractures, medication errors, bedsores, and neglect of personal hygiene. The Tomczak Law Group is dedicated to holding nursing homes accountable for their actions and fighting for the rights of their clients.
Nursing home negligence occurs when a nursing home fails to provide an acceptable level of care to its residents, resulting in harm or injury. Nursing home negligence can come in many forms, such as:
This can include failing to provide adequate amounts of food and water, or not accommodating residents' dietary needs.
This can include failing to assist with bathing, grooming, and toileting, as well as not providing clean clothing and bedding.
This can include neglecting to provide necessary medical care or medication, or not following doctor's orders.
This can include failing to properly maintain the facility or not providing necessary safety equipment, leading to slip and fall accidents.
This can include not adequately supervising residents, leading to falls, wandering, or elopement.
This can include not addressing residents' complaints, or not reporting changes in medical conditions to physicians or family members.
This can include not properly vetting staff members, leading to instances of abuse or neglect.
At Tomczak Law Group, we understand the emotional and financial toll that nursing home negligence can have on residents and their families. Our experienced attorneys have the knowledge and resources to hold nursing homes accountable for their actions and fight for the compensation our clients deserve.
Our approach to nursing home negligence cases involves a thorough investigation of the nursing home's policies, procedures, and practices. We work with medical experts to review medical records and determine the extent of our clients' injuries or harm. Our attorneys also interview staff members, residents, and their families to gather evidence of negligence and abuse.
We handle a wide range of nursing home negligence cases, including:
Nursing homes have a responsibility to ensure that their residents receive adequate nutrition and hydration. When they fail to provide residents with the necessary food and drink, malnutrition and dehydration can result.
Nursing homes must take measures to prevent falls and fractures, such as providing appropriate walking aids and monitoring residents who are at risk of falling.
Nursing home staff must ensure that residents receive the correct medications in the correct dosages at the appropriate times.
Nursing home residents who are immobile or bedridden can develop painful bedsores or pressure ulcers if they are not repositioned regularly or provided with appropriate cushions or mattresses.
Nursing homes have a duty to ensure that their residents receive appropriate assistance with personal hygiene tasks such as bathing, grooming, and toileting.
When nursing homes do not have enough staff to provide adequate care to residents, neglect and abuse can result.
Nursing homes must provide residents with appropriate medical care, including monitoring for signs of illness or infection, and ensuring that medical conditions are treated promptly.
Nursing home residents can suffer emotional or physical abuse at the hands of staff or other residents.
