The Legal Obligations Of Medical Staff To Monitor Patients

When we place parents, siblings or other loved ones in nursing homes, we expect that they will be treated with respect, dignity and compassion. Unfortunately, many nursing homes fail to properly care for their patients.

While nursing homes are entrusted with the responsibility to care for sick and elderly people who are often vulnerable, they all too often place the safety of their patients at risk for the sake of profits. Due to understaffing, insufficient staff training and other cost-cutting measures, nursing home patients suffer many injuries that are the result of substandard care.

One of the most common causes of nursing home injuries is a failure on the part of nursing home staff to properly monitor their patients. Injuries suffered by patients due to a lack of proper monitoring may include:

• Bedsores and nursing homes
• Slip-and-fall accidents
• Malnutrition and dehydration due to improper care
• Injuries from exposure to adverse weather conditions

If your loved one has been injured as a result of nursing home negligence, contact the Law Offices of Wade E. Byrd P.A. in Fayetteville, North Carolina. We represent clients in a wide range of nursing home injury claims.

Slip-and-fall Accidents At Nursing Homes

Nursing home patients must be carefully monitored to prevent slip-and-fall accidents. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that nursing home patients are twice as likely to be injured in slip-and-fall accidents as are other elderly adults. Since nursing home patients often suffer from severe illness, injury or dementia, they are at a heightened risk for slip-and-fall accidents.
