Nursing home neglect occurs when residents don’t receive the necessary care required by law, leading to harm such as infections from poor hygiene or improper medication. This serious issue can have devastating 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, resulting in physical harm. The Ohio Revised Code also addresses abuse, gross neglect, and inappropriate use of restraints, medication, or isolation. Nursing home abuse is a form of substandard care that harms residents, often stemming from a breach of duty.
Like abuse, neglect can have serious emotional and physical impacts on victims. For example, inadequate hygiene can lead to infections and sores, while failing to adhere to dietary restrictions or provide proper medication can also cause harm.
Nursing home abuse is preventable, especially in a place designed to care for vulnerable individuals. Sadly, it happens. If you suspect abuse, it’s crucial to act quickly to protect your loved one.
First, ensure their 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 Cleveland believe in fully.
Are there any legal consequences for acts of abuse or neglect in a nursing home facility?
Yes, nursing home abuse and neglect can have both criminal and civil legal consequences. These consequences often overlap.
If you suspect your loved one is being abused or neglected in a nursing home, there are important steps you should take.
First, ensure your loved one’s safety. If you believe a crime is occurring, contact local law enforcement.
Next, gather evidence: take photos, obtain statements, and record details like dates and times.
Finally, report your suspicions to the nursing home administrators, understand their investigation protocol, and request to be informed of their progress. Document everything, as this will be invaluable for your case.
