Ohio Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers

While we don’t look forward to needing Nursing Home Care for our family members or ourselves, eventually most of us will need more care than can be given at home. When this time comes, we rely on the skill and compassion of Nursing Home Staff to provide the best possible care for their Residents. When we have loved ones in a Nursing Home, we expect them to be treated with dignity — and careful attention given to their health, welfare and safety. Nursing Home care is expensive, and whoever pays, each Resident deserves the attention they need to thrive.

Sadly, sometimes Nursing Home Owners and/or Staff are indifferent, incompetent, uncaring and/or negligent as to their Resident’s needs. Despite Staff shortages and/or inadequate facilities, Nursing Homes have legal and ethical obligations to their Residents and their families. When lapses occur leading to negligent care, which causes significant injury or even death, the family has every right to seek compensation on behalf of the victim of Nursing Home Negligence. Examples of Nursing Home negligence include:

  • Failure to follow physicians orders for the Resident;
  • Failure to bring a potentially life-threatening condition to the Resident’s physician despite concern Signs and Symptoms – or a worrisome change in health status;
  • Neglect resulting in injury – such as Bedsores, Malnutrition, Dehydration,
    Infection, Infestation, and Injurious Falls;
  • Mistakes in medication(s) prescribed to the Resident;
  • Failure to document import health matters in the Resident’s chart;
  • Failure to keep the Nursing Home facility a clean and safe environment;
  • Failure to protect the health and welfare of the Resident;
  • Failure to protect the Resident from Eloping;
  • Failure to protect the Resident from Nursing Home abuses — perpetrated by employees, fellow Residents or others with access to the facility – be they physical, sexual, emotional or financial; and
  • Failure to adhere to the Nursing Standards of Care causing injury or death.

Sometimes, people are reluctant to complain about a Nursing Home because they don’t believe they can find/afford another facility for their loved one. But not taking action in the wake of Nursing Home negligence is unfair to the victim, fellow Residents, and ultimately the Nursing Home itself. Sometimes nothing short of a lawsuit will get the Nursing Home owners’ and employees’ attention — helping to ensure the health and safety of both current and future Residents.
