Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse
As healthcare becomes more expensive, cuts in services, substandard staffing, and overcrowding can
lead to errors in nursing home care and abuse of the elderly. This negligence can take on a variety of
forms including but not limited to negligent care, physical abuse, and sexual abuse. Negligent care may
result in decubitus ulcers (bed sores), sepsis, amputations, gangrene, falls, poor hygiene, unsanitary
conditions, malnutrition, dehydration, broken bones (commonly in places such as the hips and limbs),
and even death. The signs of such abuse and negligence can be subtle, and often times, seniors may
be reluctant or unable to report it. If you or someone you love is in a nursing home or
rehabilitation facility and has suffered unexplained injuries, bed sores, or frequent falls, please contact-

Do I have a Case?
Nursing Home Negligence and Nursing Home Abuse are forms of medical malpractice. Generally
speaking, in order for someone to have a viable medical malpractice claim, a doctor or other healthcare
provider; (physicians, nurses, hospitals, psychologists, x-ray technicians and a variety of other medical
professionals)must have committed a negligent act that deviated from; the accepted standard of
medical care and that negligent act must have caused significant injury. For example, if your doctor
misread your test result, that act must have been something no other reasonably prudent doctor
would have done under the same or similar circumstances.
