Has the Nursing Home Performed Safety Evaluations?
In Ohio, nursing homes are required by law to provide safety evaluations for every resident — upon admittance to the facility and every 30 days after that. Unfortunately, some nursing homes fail to do this, resulting in serious injuries. They may fail to properly restrain a resident, with that resident falling from a chair or bed as a result.
Nursing home management and employees can neglect the residents in their care in other ways. They may fail to provide your loved one with the medications he or she needs. Nursing home management may fail to discipline or discharge an abusive employee. They may fail to periodically move a resident, resulting in bed sores.
If you believe that a facility has failed in its duty regarding your loved one's safety and special needs, call Stewart and DeChant toll free at 888-352-4904.
