Before nursing home abuse can be stopped, it must be recognized by families who relied on the care of a loved one in nursing homes. Our attorneys at CA Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers are committed to helping the families of nursing home abuse victims identify and end the harms caused by nursing homes.

In order to prevent bed sores, the nursing staff is responsible for periodically adjusting the position of residents to stimulate proper circulation. Unfortunately, this is often not done. Staff members often do not take the time to properly move residents. Overworked and underpaid, employees allow residents to sit or lie in bed unattended for hours – causing these sores to develop.

In nursing homes falls frequently occur because older residents suffer from dementia or Alzheimer's disease, or have chronic illnesses that involve weakness and difficulty walking. As such, if your loved one has a balance problem or has difficulty walking, the nursing staff should have a written plan to provide walking assistance.

Nursing homes must provide a safe environment and care for all residents, but they often fail to take proper care of the people they are supposed to protect from harm. This inadequate care often goes as far as failing to provide the basic necessities for human life of food and water. When nursing homes fail to care for the elderly and disabled residents, the attorneys at CA Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers hold them accountable.

When we realize that we are not able to provide the proper care for our elderly loved ones, we look for a facility that we can rely on to take care of them the way we want. In too many cases, however, nursing homes break our trust by failing to perform their duties and, in some cases, by taking deliberate harmful measures by elderly residents. Therefore, recognizing the warning signs of a nursing home abuse can be really important to help your loved ones get the justice they deserve.
