Nursing Home Negligence Attorney, Buffalo, New York (NY)
Rochester, New York (NY) Lawyer Helping Nursing Home Victims
Health care providers in nursing home facilities have a professional responsibility to prevent the injury and suffering of their patients. Nursing home abuse can occur when a patient does not receive the care necessary for a good quality of life.
It is often difficult for a loved one to express when they have been physically or emotionally abused. Many feel they will be putting a burden on the family member, so too often, they choose to deal with the abuse.
There are signs to look for that may indicate nursing home neglect:
-
Unexplained accidents or injuries,
-
Extreme changes in your loved one’s condition in a short period of time,
-
Signs of dehydration or malnutrition,
-
Bed sores,
-
Unclean conditions,
-
Daily living needs not met,
-
Fractures,
-
Slip and fall accidents,
-
Death, and
-
Any other signs of physical or mental suffering.
Laws now exist to protect patients from nursing home neglect and abuse.
