When a Bond of Trust is Broken
Nursing home residents require vigilant and dedicated care. When you place your loved one in a nursing home, you have the right to expect that they will be properly and timely attended to when they are having medical problems. You should be able to depend on the right medications being administered in the appropriate amounts. The facility's physicians should take care to timely diagnose and treat their patients' illnesses, and the staff should take all appropriate measures to ensure safe transfers and prevent the development of bedsores and deadly infections.
Dangerous and Deadly Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
One of the most common areas of negligence in nursing home cases involves a facility's failure to properly supervise and attend to the resident during trips to the bathroom and/or cafeteria. Falls, as the result of inadequate supervision and assistance, can have catastrophic and even deadly consequences for nursing home residents. A nursing home's lack of attention or appropriate assistance to a patient while transferring a patient from a chair to a bed or to the bathroom can also cause serious injury and even death.
At Eisenberg, Gilchrist & Cutt, we are a preeminent law firm with the resources to hold facilities and large corporate owners accountable for nursing home abuse and neglect. We attend to every detail in investigating your claim and obtaining the best result for you or your loved one.
