nursing home negligence
Nursing homes are obligated to make sure that patients who are bedridden do not get bed sores. Bed sores are dangerous and worsen over time if not cared for properly and often. Patients need to be turned in bed on a frequent basis to prevent bedsores. Nursing homes are often negligent in allowing bedsores to occur and than commit further negligence by not caring for them properly. If bedsores exist the protocol has to be even higher. At Gaines, Gruner, Ponzini & Novick, LLP, we know how serious bedsores can be and we fight for clients to obtain justice. Elderly patients need to be cared for, not ignored. Call Ted A. Novick, Esq., a partner in the firm @ 1-914-288-9595 to discuss your case. The consultation is free. Or check out our website @ ggpnllp.com

Hi
ReplyDeleteI just came across to your blog and reading your post. You are discussing about "nursing home negligence" When the choice is made to leave a loved one in the care of a nursing home, the expectation is that he or she will be given good care by professionals. Everyone who has had to make this difficult decision wishes that their loved ones are being treated as if they were family by their caretakers. A nursing home can be a very positive environment for the elderly. A good facility will provide excellent care in a cozy, yet clean environment that fosters deep friendships. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. These instances of negligence or abuse are often made worse because the elderly at the nursing homes are often unable to fully communicate their feelings and needs to friends and family. This communication breakdown also results in gravely under-reported instances of negligence and abuse. There are an estimated one million instances of senior citizen abuse in nursing homes or assisted living facilities every year.For more details visit us at:-Medical Negligence.Thanks a lot for sharing such a very informative topics.
