Springfield Nursing Home Negligence Lawyers
When an elderly family member needs more care than you can provide, you may consider putting him or her in a nursing home facility. Nursing homes are supposed to be places of care and comfort where your loved one can get the professional assistance he or she needs. However, some nursing homes may be places of abuse and neglect.
If your loved one suffered negligence or abuse while living in a nursing home, you may have grounds for legal action. Contact the Springfield nursing home negligence lawyers of Strong-Garner-Bauer, P.C., today at 417-887-4300 for a free consultation.
Acts of Nursing Home Negligence
Nursing home negligence is any act that deprives your loved one of the care he or she needs. Ultimately, this withholding of care may cause your loved one great harm during his or her nursing home stay.
Examples of nursing home negligence include:
- Malnourishment
- Withholding of medication
- Lack of care
- Physical abuse
- Sexual abuse
- Emotional abuse
Each of these acts may cause your loved one to suffer physical or mental harm, which may, in turn, cause him or her to pass away. When this happens, you and your family should act to hold the nursing home accountable for its negligent actions.
