Nursing Home Free Case Review and Expedited Claim
Pintas & Mullins is one of the nation's leading nursing home law firms helping thousands of families fight abuse and neglect.
The U.S. has thousands of long-term care facilities serving millions of residents. Neglect, injuries, and other abuse are persistent and growing problems in virtually all Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF), Assisted Living Facilities (ALF), and Community Integrated Living Arrangements (CILA).
If you believe a loved one is being abused or neglected in one of these facilities, report the mistreatment as soon as possible. Filing a claim helps protect your loved one and can prevent future abuse of others.
If nursing home residents spend most of their time in a bed or chair without being moved by a nursing home attendant, bedsores can develop on their hips, feet, joints, and back-- wherever bones press against fragile skin. If left untreated, bedsores can cause infection, hospitalization, and even death.
Bedsores
Falls are the most common cause of bone fractures in nursing home residents. It is the staff’s responsibility to prevent residents from falling by constantly monitoring them, carefully moving them, and assisting with walking.
Bone Fractures and Breaks
Falls can be caused by any number of things – from medications to malnutrition. Most falls can be prevented by nursing home staff. If your loved one suffered a fall, make sure it was not due to mistreatment, abuse, or neglect.
Falls
Residents who don’t get proper nutrition and hydration are at higher risk for bedsores, infections, and falls. Nursing homes must prevent malnutrition by carefully logging how much residents eat, offering a comfortable environment to eat in, and serving appetizing food.
Malnutrition
Medication Errors
Medication errors are often due to the negligence of nursing home staff. Errors such as distributing the wrong medication or the wrong dosage to a resident can be potentially fatal, as medications may be essential for a resident’s survival. One of the most dangerous and severe medication errors is overmedicating residents.
Elderly people who are abused have a 300% higher risk of death than those who are not. Nursing home residents are common targets for abuse and neglect. If your loved one died suddenly or suspiciously, their nursing facility may be to blame.
Death
Nursing home residents are particularly vulnerable to sexual abuse. Many with advanced dementia cannot tell their families what is happening, so loved ones must be hyper-aware of this threat. Signs of sexual abuse include sexually transmitted infections, unexplained cuts or bruising, bleeding in the genital area, and extreme fear of a staff member or other resident.
