INJURED IN A NURSING HOME?

When you entrust a nursing home with the care of a loved one, you expect that they will be properly cared for with dignity and respect.  You expect that the nursing home will do everything possible to keep your loved one happy and healthy.  Unfortunately, negligence and outright abuse in nursing homes are all too common resulting in serious injury and even death. Although many state and federal regulations have been established to protect elderly nursing home residents, gross violations occur every single day tragically compromising the health, well-being and dignity of some of our society's most vulnerable members.

Neglect and abuse come in many different forms. Know the signs:

• ​Bedsores (also known as pressure ulcers)

• Falls (resulting in serious injury)

• Malnutrition

• Dehydration

• Choking Incidents

• Medication Errors

• Loss of dignity

• Wrongful death​
