Nursing Home Negligence

Nursing Home Negligence

Nursing home negligence involves the failure of care for residents due to inadequate staffing, overworked staff members, or improper training.

Nursing Home Negligence Facts

A nursing home negligence claim exists if a resident has suffered trauma, injury, or improper care from an aide. Americans live in nursing homes for various reasons, many of which require around-the-clock care, leaving the residents vulnerable to health consequences. It is the responsibility of the nursing home to make the residents get the care that they need.

Nursing home negligence includes medical neglect, social or emotional neglect, and neglect of basic living needs and hygiene. Warning signs of nursing home neglect include personal hygiene issues, dehydration, malnutrition, significant personality changes, insomnia, bruises, and bedsores.

Data related to nursing home negligence:

  • Currently, 1.4 million people are living in nursing homes across the nation.
  • According to statistics, 90% of United States nursing homes have staff levels performing below the adequate care level. Some aides may care for up to 30 different residents, leading to burnout, stress, and inadequate care for all residents.
  • The most common type of mistreatment in a nursing home is negligence, increasing the risk of death by 300%.
  • Many nursing home incidences go unreported due to a lack of awareness, fear, or shame. A study conducted in 2007 tracked 257,872 complaints across the nation regarding the quality of care, staffing, facilities, and other issues.
