Under the Missouri Code of Regulations, nursing homes, long-term care facilities and short-term facilities must provide its residents the same civil rights that all individuals enjoy. Sometimes nursing homes make mistakes. Sometimes they fail to staff adequate employees to provide care and treatment to our loved ones. As a result of negligence, abuse or neglect, injury may occur.
Nursing home negligence is any act that deprives your loved one of the care he or she needs. Ultimately, this withholding of care may cause your loved one great harm during his or her nursing home stay. Examples of nursing home negligence include:
- Lack of monitoring
- Malnourishment
- Failure to follow doctor’s orders
- Withholding medication
- Failure to recognize overmedication
- Failure to prevent falls
- Allowing decubitus ulcers to develop
- Physical abuse
- Sexual abuse
- Emotional abuse
If your loved one is a victim of nursing home negligence or abuse, take time to talk to managers about your concerns, then talk to an attorney who has experience investigating cases in Missouri nursing home neglect. There may be a pattern or record of violations that indicate negligence.
