When Is A Long-Term Care Facility Responsible For Nursing Home Injuries Or Illnesses?

Nursing home neglect and abuse go beyond physical actions. It can take many forms, including mental, financial, and emotional abuse. If you or your loved one is concerned about the care provided at a nursing home facility, contact a North Carolina lawyer at O’Malley Tunstall, PC right away. It is critical to follow up if something doesn’t seem right.

Look for red flags of nursing home abuse, mistreatment, or neglect. These signs can include:

Residents of nursing homes and assisted living home aren’t the only ones who may not act as they should. You may see red flags with the staff as well. They may not allow you or your loved one to be left alone with others, or they put off questions you have.

While the spread may not be willful, facilities may still be held responsible for their actions or their failure to take certain actions. Facilities have a responsibility to protect their residents from harm and to take actions that help ensure the residents’ safety.

When nursing home staff do not take appropriate action to enact policies to protect residents, this can be an indicator of nursing home neglect.
