Understanding Nursing Home and Senior Living Negligence
Nursing home and senior living facility residents are entitled to respectful, safe, and diligent care. Unfortunately, neglect and substandard care do occur, leading to severe harm or even fatalities. Neglect in these environments can manifest in various ways, including:
- Medical Neglect: Failure to provide necessary medical testing, medication, treatment, or care leading to the deterioration of health or the delayed diagnosis and needed treatment of new conditions.
- Basic Needs Neglect: Not providing adequate food, water, or a clean and safe living environment.
- Personal Hygiene Neglect: Failing to assist with personal hygiene tasks that result in serious health issues and diminished quality of life.
- Emotional, Social, or Safety Neglect: Ignoring or isolating residents from activities and social interactions can lead to significant emotional distress. Not keeping residents safe from the violence or abuse of others can result in severe physical and psychological injuries.
At Menzer Law Group, our focus is on cases involving severe injuries or fatal consequences. These situations often highlight the most serious violations of the duty of care owed to the most defenseless among us. Our experienced senior living neglect lawyers and hospital negligence attorneys are committed to pursuing justice for these egregious failings and securing the justice and compensation that affected persons and their families deserve.
