Identifying Nursing Home Neglect: Signs to Watch For
Nursing home neglect is a serious issue, and recognizing the warning signs early can prevent further harm. Key indicators include unclean living conditions, sudden weight loss, emotional withdrawal, and, notably, the presence of bed sores. Families must stay vigilant and routinely inspect their loved ones for these indicators when residing in care facilities. At Finney Law Office, we provide guidance for families to spot and address these red flags effectively.
Understanding Liability for Hospital Bed Sores
Bed sores develop when pressure on the skin impedes blood flow, an issue often preventable with proper care. Hospitals and care facilities in St. Louis are responsible for implementing adequate prevention measures, such as repositioning patients and conducting routine skin inspections. When facilities fail in this duty, they may be held liable for resulting injuries. Our firm specializes in investigating these cases thoroughly to establish negligence and liability.
Pressure Ulcer Risk Assessment and Prevention
Risk assessment is crucial in preventing bed sores. Effective assessments evaluate a patient's mobility, nutrition, and skin condition to develop a tailored care plan. Nursing homes are obligated to use this information to prevent the occurrence of pressure ulcers. Failure to perform, document, and follow through with these assessments constitutes neglect. We at Finney Law Office build strong cases by highlighting lapses in these critical preventive measures.
