Nursing home neglect occurs when residents don’t receive the care they need, as required by law. This can cause harm, such as infections from poor hygiene or inadequate medication. It’s a serious issue with significant emotional and physical consequences for residents.

Ohio Revised Code 2903.33 defines neglect as recklessly failing to provide necessary treatment, care, goods, or services to maintain a person’s health and safety, leading to physical harm. The Ohio Revised Code also outlines abuse, gross neglect, and the inappropriate use of restraints, medication, or isolation.

Nursing home abuse is a form of substandard care that harms residents, often a breach of duty. Both abuse and neglect can have severe emotional and physical impacts on victims.

This can include inadequate hygiene leading to infections and sores or failing to adhere to dietary restrictions or provide proper medication.

Nursing home abuse is preventable, but sadly, it does happen. No one wants to learn that their friend, parent, or grandparent has been a victim of abuse. If you suspect abuse, act immediately.

First, ensure your loved one’s safety and prevent further harm. Notify the nursing home administration and understand their protocol for reporting abuse. Follow up to ensure they are taking appropriate action.

Report the abuse to the police, as it’s a crime and your loved one is a victim. You can also report the nursing home to the agency responsible for monitoring and regulating these facilities.

If you seek accountability for the nursing home, contacting a knowledgeable nursing home abuse attorney is essential.

We advance the costs of the investigation and lawsuit. We only get paid from the money we collect in settlement or verdict, so you’ll never receive a bill.

By taking on all the risk, you can be sure we are only going to take on cases that our Eadie Law lawyers in Akron believe in fully.

Are there any legal consequences for acts of abuse or neglect in a nursing home facility?

Nursing home abuse and neglect can cause both criminal and civil liability. The legal repercussions often occur simultaneously.

If you suspect your loved one is being abused or neglected in a nursing home, immediate action is essential.

First, ensure your loved one’s safety. Contact your local law enforcement if you believe a crime has occurred.

Next, gather evidence: take photos, obtain statements, and record details like dates and times. Report your concerns to the nursing home administrators, understand their investigation protocol, and request updates. Document everything meticulously, as this will be crucial for your case.

Our team in Akron focuses on serious nursing home injuries like bedsores, falls with broken bones or brain bleeds, sexual or physical assault, wandering off, and medication errors.
