California Nursing Home Neglect Lawyers
As the elderly population begins to grow, nursing homes have become less able to meet the demands of caring for patients. As a result, nursing homes suffer understaffed facilities, undertrained employees, inexperienced staff, overworked caretakers and a lack of supervision that can unfortunately lead to neglect.
Nursing home neglect can have serious consequences and can even lead to an elderly person’s unnecessary death. If you suspect your loved one is suffering neglect at the hands of those entrusted to care for him or her, you should speak with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible to protect your loved one from further abuse and fight for justice on his or her behalf.
Signs of Nursing Home Neglect
Nursing home neglect has many severe—and sometimes fatal—consequences as a result of caretakers not providing the elderly patient with the necessities of daily living or the appropriate medical care. Typical signs of neglect include:
- Improper clothing for the time of year
- Bed sores
- Frequent infections
- Unsanitary living conditions
- Sudden weight loss, malnutrition, or dehydration
- Sudden, unexplained death
If you witness any of these tell-tale signs of neglect when visiting your elderly loved one, take action! Numerous cases of nursing home negligence and neglect go unreported because people shrug off signs of neglect thinking that it could not happen to someone they love. It can, and does! If you believe your loved one has been harmed due to understaffed facilities, undertrained employees and a lack of supervision, call our nursing home neglect attorneys for an immediate investigation.
Since the nursing home facility and staff are ultimately responsible for your loved one’s care, the law allows you to fight for monetary compensation for your loved one’s injuries, medical costs, and pain and suffering.
