Seeking Justice for Nursing Home Neglect Victims

•Understanding the Risks in Nursing Homes

Nursing homes are meant to be safe havens for the elderly and those in need of continuous medical care. However, neglect and abuse are rampant issues in many care facilities. Families place their trust in nursing homes, expecting professional and compassionate treatment, but failures in care can lead to devastating consequences.

According to recent reports, 1 in 3 nursing home residents experience some form of neglect or abuse. This is unacceptable, and at McDonald Trial Lawyers, we are committed to seeking justice for those affected.

•Common Causes of Nursing Home Neglect

Several factors contribute to nursing home neglect, often stemming from institutional failures and negligence. These include:

•Understaffing & Overworked Caregivers

Many facilities are understaffed, leading to overworked employees who struggle to provide adequate care. Residents are left unattended, resulting in malnutrition, dehydration, and untreated medical conditions.

•Lack of Proper Medical Attention

Residents rely on regular medication and medical supervision. When facilities fail to administer medicine properly or ignore symptoms of declining health, the results can be fatal.

•Physical and Emotional Abuse

Some staff members physically or verbally mistreat residents. This leads to bruises, fractures, and emotional trauma that often go unreported.

•Poor Facility Conditions

Unsanitary environments, unclean bedding, and poor ventilation create dangerous conditions that contribute to infections, falls, and health deterioration.

•Common Injuries in Nursing Home Neglect Cases

Victims of nursing home neglect may suffer from:

✔ Bedsores (pressure ulcers due to immobility)
✔ Dehydration & Malnutrition (lack of proper food and hydration)
✔ Medication Errors (wrong dosages leading to serious complications)
✔ Falls & Fractures (due to lack of supervision or unsafe conditions)
✔ Infections (resulting from poor hygiene practices)
