Nursing Home Litigation



Nursing home abuse occurs when the resident is physically abused, raped or sexually assaulted, over-sedated, or subjected to verbal and/or emotional abuse in nursing homes. Dependent individuals, often elderly adults, may reside in nursing homes and depend upon the nursing home staff for their care and well-being. Abuse in nursing homes can be hard to detect, since many nursing home residents have trouble communicating and may have sporadic family support. Nursing home abuse cases require a nursing home abuse lawyer to prove the resident was subject to abuse. Please read on to find a nursing home abuse attorney from Lawyers.comsm.

1. there is not enough staffing on the floor . Acuity and the amount of man power is not taken into account when staffing is put in place. 2. supplies aren''t readily available causing the aids on the floor to have to search on other wings of the facility. 3.The heads of the facility are practicing nepotism and favoritism with both residents and employment. 4. The aids are constantly abused verbally and physical by residents and no actions are being taken by the DON or the ADON or the nursing supervisor making it impossible in some cases to provide the care that that resident needs. 5. The states is constantly being called on the facility by employees and residents but nothing is being done. 6. when the employees come to the staff that''s in charge with a complaint we''re ignored. 7.
