Michigan Nursing Home LawyersNursing home abuse must not be ignored. Nursing home residents are guaranteed rights under both federal and state law. Nursing homes must meet set standards to receive Medicare and Medicaid funding. However, government inspectors are too few and nursing homes are often understaffed. The result is that families of residents, with the help of private attorneys and advocacy groups, must work together to protect the rights of nursing home residents. Nursing home abuse results in open bed sores, coma, patients wandering away while confused, falling, cuts and death. Take photos of the abuse that your loved one suffered and see a trial lawyer. Have you, a family member or friend
been the victim of nursing home abuse?
Neglect, next to battery and abuse, is the most common mistreatment many nursing homes are guilty of all over the United States. Neglect occurs every time a nursing home resident is put into risk due to deprivation of essential needs or lack of protection from any threats to that adult’s health or welfare. Since many nursing home residents have limited abilities to speak, identifying potential abuse requires careful monitoring. Look for the signs of nursing home abuse in your frequent visits to the nursing home or assisted living facility.
