Kenosha Nursing Home Malpractice Lawyer

For many people, the decision to place a parent or loved one in a nursing home is a very difficult one. In many cases, nursing homes can provide constant monitoring, support, and medical assistance that family members are unable to provide. While nursing homes can be an effective way of providing a comfortable and secure environment for your loved one, failure on the part of nursing home staff and managers may result in serious injuries or even death.

Nursing home residents and their family members have a reasonable expectation of competence and service when it comes to placing an individual into a facility. If a facility fails to provide the proper care for a patient, he or she may be eligible for compensation for medical expenses, mental and emotional trauma, and other expenses.

Nursing Home Negligence

Nursing home professionals may be guilty of negligence if they:

• Allow falls or other injuries to occur due to lack of supervision or patient monitoring
• Fail to pay attention to resident requests for medical treatment
• Fail to provide a clean and hygienic environment
• Leave resident's unattended or isolated for long periods of time, or do not allow for adequate social interaction for residents
• Fail to provide proper nutrition and hydration

It is especially important for nursing home professionals to help bedridden patients get the proper nutrition and specialized care that they need. If a nursing home does not adequately train staff on how to feed, clean, and care for seriously infirm residents, the individual may suffer serious injuries, infection, or illness as a result.
