What is nursing home negligence?
Although nursing homes are heavily regulated by state and federal government, nursing home negligence may still go unnoticed. Consequently, many nursing home residents that experience such neglect or abuse are entitled to compensation for their suffering, which may include both physical and emotional injuries.
Nursing home negligence occurs in many forms. At times, resident needs are inadequately addressed due to improper supervision of staff or medical personnel. In other instances, the failure to employ enough staff members is sufficient to constitute negligence. For example, if the residents are not receiving adequate medical attention and care due to an insufficient number of staff or medical personnel, then the nursing home may be negligent for such failure. Stated differently, the needs of certain residents may not have been met, and, over time, serious health conditions resulted such as bedsores, dehydration, and malnutrition. Moreover, other serious conditions such as failing to administer medication in a timely manner or failing to adequately assist residents in maintaining their personal hygiene could be attributed to failing to employ an adequate number of staff members (or, possibly, the improper supervision of same).
