Nursing Home Neglect Attorneys in Lafayette, LA
Making the decision to place a loved one in the care of an assisted living or nursing home facility is extremely tough. Above all, it’s a matter of trust. You trust these businesses to have your loved one’s best interests at heart and you trust them to be the helping hand that assists your loved one with their daily needs when you aren’t able to be there 24/7.
Most of these facilities provide great care and do exactly what you, as a trusting family member, expect them to. Unfortunately, however, there are a select few who choose to take advantage of your trust and commit grievous acts of negligence and abuse your loved one. Poorly trained staff and lack of attention by workers result in an abusive environment. Making matters worse, in many cases, your loved one is incapable of communicating their experience to you so that you take action to stop the situation. As a result, each and every day, due to poor conditions in these facilities, patients fall victim to nursing home neglect and abuse. This can cause your loved one to endure terribly unsatisfactory conditions that decrease their quality of life and, in many cases, can cause them physical injury and illness.

Nursing home neglect and abuse is a type of medical malpractice. A medical malpractice lawsuit can be brought for accidents that occur, for the medical professional’s intentional acts of abuse or their failure to act under a host of situations. Recognizing the signs of this type of abuse is one of the most difficult tasks because in many cases your loved one can’t communicate to you what they are going through.
Signs of Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse Include:
1.Unexplained injuries (Ex. bruises & fractures)
2.Psychological issues such as depression
3.Loss of appetite
4.Loss or lack of mobility
5.Physical problems from lack of nutrition
6.Unsanitary living conditions
7.Poor personal hygiene
