In a nursing home setting, doctors, nurses, and caregivers have a duty to provide residents with a reasonable amount of medical attention, hygiene, dietary assistance, and in general, care. If they neglect to fulfill these duties or intentionally cause harm to a resident, they may be held liable for an injury.
The nursing home facility itself can be held responsible for injuries and abuse too. In cases like these, negligence may occur when a nursing home facility fails to perform background checks, verify qualifications, or has not properly trained its staff. Negligence may also occur in the form of facility or equipment maintenance, especially when it comes to wheelchairs, walkers, beds, and other equipment used by the facility’s residents.
If a nursing home facility or any of the facility’s employees’ negligent actions have caused you or your loved one harm, you may be eligible to pursue legal action.
