Nursing homes have a duty to provide reasonable and adequate care for their residents. This includes proper care for physical, medical, social, and mental needs. Because patients can no longer live independently, they are dependent upon the nursing home employees to provide medical care that addresses the resident’s physical, mental health, and dental needs. Residents often must rely on the nursing home to provide adequate hygiene care, such as bathing, toilet use, and changing clothes. It is the home’s duty to provide adequate, food, nutrition, and hydration.

When the failure to provide this care leads to serious injury or death, the nursing home and its employees can be held responsible. If you believe that a family member has been injured due to nursing home neglect, you should have the situation reviewed by an attorney who handles these types of cases.  The attorneys at Miraldi & Barrett have made recoveries for many residents who have been injured by nursing home neglect.
