What Is Nursing Home Negligence?
Nursing home negligence occurs when a facility or staff member fails to provide adequate care, resulting in physical or emotional harm to a resident. It’s not always malicious—but it is preventable, and it is a breach of duty.
Examples include:
- Failure to prevent bedsores
- Improper medication administration
- Inadequate nutrition or hydration
- Lack of supervision leading to falls
- Unhygienic conditions
- Failure to respond to medical needs
Signs of Possible Neglect or Abuse
Family members are often the first to notice that something isn’t right. Warning signs may include:
- Unexplained bruises, cuts, or fractures
- Sudden weight loss or signs of malnutrition
- Poor hygiene or unsanitary living conditions
- Emotional withdrawal or anxiety
- Unresponsiveness to requests for help
- Staff refusing to answer questions or allow private visits
Legal Options for Families
When negligence occurs, families may file a civil lawsuit against the nursing home or responsible parties. A successful claim can recover compensation for:
- Medical bills
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Wrongful death (in fatal cases)
- Relocation and rehabilitation costs
These cases often require expert testimony, medical records, and extensive legal support—making them time-consuming and costly.
