Learning that an elderly parent or grandparent has suffered abuse or neglect in their nursing home can be a deeply troubling experience. If your loved one’s health or well-being has declined due to negligence on the part of their caretakers, get in touch with a seasoned El Cajon nursing home abuse lawyer to explore your options for legal compensation. A compassionate El Cajon attorney can help you or your loved one today.

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

As the baby boomer generation begins to enter nursing homes and other residential facilities for seniors, nursing home abuse, and neglect has, unfortunately, become that much more common.

Nursing Home Abuse

Abuse generally takes the form of verbal, physical, or sexual assault by a caretaker or staff member, and in some scenarios from another facility resident. El Cajon nursing home abuse also may involve less overt forms of maltreatment, such as illegal uses of sedation or restraint and intentional overmedication.

Nursing Home Neglect

Neglect in a nursing home often takes the form of negligence through inaction, a category which can include withholding or delaying medication, failure to maintain bedding or change clothing and toiletry items, and using unsanitary medical equipment.

In certain circumstances, nursing home neglect need not be specifically directed at residents for a lawsuit to be warranted. Nursing homes and adult care facilities can be held legally liable for failure to conduct adequate background checks on staff, failure to properly train staff, and a poor ratio of staff to residents.

Responsibilities of Nursing Homes and Care Facilities in El Cajon

Courts do not look favorably upon nursing home abuse and neglect, since nursing home residents are a vulnerable population. Nursing homes have a legal duty to make sure they follow regulations and abide by the adequate standard of care for nursing homes.

These responsibilities include requirements to employ qualified staff, maintain certain standards, and take proactive measures to ensure the health and safety of their residents. When nursing home staff become aware of a hazard or health issue, the facility should take reasonable steps to remedy or treat the problem and notify family members responsible for supporting affected residents.
