What is nursing home negligence?
Nursing home negligence may occur when a facility, caregiver, staff member, or healthcare provider fails to provide proper care, supervision, or protection to a resident. This can include failure to prevent falls, untreated infections, pressure ulcers, medication mistakes, malnutrition, dehydration, poor hygiene, or ignoring changes in a resident’s condition.Why these cases must be taken seriously
