What Is Elder Abuse or Neglect?
The Adult Protective Services Act authorizes victims or their surviving family members to bring claims against nursing homes, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living, group homes and other similar facilities for abuse and neglect. Instances of abuse and neglect commonly includes:
Pressure injuries/wounds which may be indicative of staff’s failure to take preventative measures such as turning and repositioning every two hours.
Falls which may be indicative of staff’s failure to take preventative measures such as providing assistance to the bathroom or answering the call light timely.
Urinary tract infections which may be indicative of staff’s failure to take preventative measures such as providing appropriate hygiene and peri-care.
Choking events which may be indicative of staff’s failure to take preventative measures such as cutting food into small pieces or supervising mealtime.
If you suspect that your loved one is experiencing any of the forms of abuse listed above, get in touch with our nursing home abuse law firm today.
We are experienced in bringing claims to recover monetary damages for pain and suffering and medical bills. Our team first meets with the client and his or her family to learn about their experience at the facility. We then collect and review relevant medical records to investigate whether the facility fell below standard of care in the care they provided.
Every resident should have an appropriate care plan in place to met his or her needs. Staff should execute the care plan in all aspects and should communicate regularly with the resident’s physicians. Care plans should include sufficient prevention interventions to avoid serious problems like falls, wounds, infection, malnutrition, dehydration and choking. Changes of condition should be monitored, reported and treated timely.
Throughout litigation, we prove the facility’s failures and how they injured our client. We frequently find that the facility’s ownership and management has failed to allocate sufficient budget to provide the appropriate staff to care for its residents. Inadequate budgeting and staffing leads to problems like long wait times to answer call lights, delays in repositioning immobile residents, lack of help with daily activities, and poor communication with family and providers.
In some cases, abuse or neglect causes death in which case we bring a wrongful death claim on behalf of the surviving family. Statutory beneficiaries can recover damages for the impact of the loss of the love and companionship of their loved one.
