Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer in Glen Cove, NY

Nursing Home Abuse Overview

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Lawyer

When most families choose to admit an elderly relative to a nursing home or assisted living facility, they assume that their senior citizen will be properly cared for. After all, the purpose of such a residential facility is to provide the necessary medical and/or supportive care that some families cannot give. Unfortunately, all too often nursing home facilities fail to provide the quality care that was promised. Vulnerable nursing home residents could thus become victims of neglect and abuse at the hands of employees or even other residents.
 
Nursing home negligence takes several forms and could have dire effects on patient healthcare. Some types of nursing home abuse are:

• Under or over medication
• Lack of proper cleanliness, resulting in bedsores or staph infections
• Failure to monitor patients, which allows for slips and falls
• Malnutrition and dehydration
• Assault and battery, including sexual assault

These types of abuse often go unnoticed or are overlooked by busy hospital administrators and supervisors. Failure to address these problems, however, could potentially lead to fatal consequences that could have been avoided with proper accountability.
