When Nursing Home Care Leads to Injuries
Families want the best possible care for their aging loved ones. As a result, many families must trust a nursing home or assisted living facility to provide the care that they cannot provide at home.
When a nursing home fails to provide this care, it can feel devastating. And the result can cause serious bodily injury or wrongful death that deprives an elderly relative of their well deserved "golden years." At Howard, DeLey & Dudley, in Anderson, Indiana, we can help. Our attorneys represent people in cases related to a wide range of nursing home neglect and abuse including:
- Bed sores
- Malnutrition
- Dehydration
- Wandering off / elopement
- Improper lifts and physical restraints
- Medication errors
- Nursing home abuse by residents or staff
When Patients Get Less Care Than They Need and Deserve
Many people require the care of a nursing home because they suffer from serious conditions that require extra care, like Altheimer's. These people must be looked after especially well.
Unfortunately, for many Indiana nursing homes, nursing home care is a numbers game — it is a business often run by out-of-state companies who take on too many patients and provide too little care. These companies may understaff and underpay care workers in nursing home facilities. The result? Care providers are overworked and cannot provide the care required. Nursing home injuries occur when they become frustrated and cut corners on care.
