Nursing home negligence is a broad topic that covers a wide variety of harmful acts. Nursing home negligence can include a failure to perform an action, such as turning over a patient in bed on a regular basis to avoid bed sores. A facility may be guilty of neglect if a caretaker refuses to feed or bathe a patient or if a staff member or community member takes advantage of a patient’s finances. Some examples of blatant nursing home negligence include verbally abusing patients, physically assaulting patients, and having inappropriate sexual relations with patients.
Some victims of abuse have a difficult time admitting the occurrences or are unable to communicate these grotesque offenses. If you feel as if your family member or loved one has been abused, then you should consult with a nursing home abuse lawyer to get someone fighting on your side. Signs of abuse include behavioral changes, isolation, withdrawn looks, bedsores, appetite changes, and more. A White Plains nursing home negligence lawyer can help your family member to put back the pieces of his or her life with dignity. The person may receive monetary compensation for the pain, suffering, and losses that occurred inside the facility.
