Sedona, Arizona Nursing Home Negligence Lawyer
The health care industry in this country is sick. The costs of health insurance and medical care are skyrocketing, with the quality of care being increasingly compromised..
This is even true in nursing homes - places you entrust with the care of a family member who can no longer take care of himself or herself, but where quality care is more important than ever to each patient's health.
Did you know that bedsores - called decubitus ulcers by medical professionals - can kill older people? They are very common as a result of not frequently turning the patients in bed. This is sheer nursing home neglect.
It is also common for patients to be dropped when being transported by attendants, suffering injuries like broken hips and limbs - very serious injuries to seniors.
Why all the nursing home negligence?
In our capitalist, corporate society, many nursing homes are owned by large organizations that are driven by profit. One way for nursing homes to boost their bottom line is to hire underqualified, minimum-wage individuals as attendants, and these attendants often remain undertrained even after they are hired.
That is why nursing home patients are often mishandled, neglected and sometimes ignored or abused. The nursing home is trying to minimize the cost of the care it provides. The results can be shocking, and feature incidents such as the following:
- Falls
- Infections
- Malnutrition
- Medication errors
- Dehydration
- Physical abuse
