Whether it is your father or your grandmother, when you place a loved one into a nursing home facility, you expect all of his or her needs to be met with careful attention and competence. What you do not expect is for your loved one to sustain injuries while living in a nursing home due to the negligence or inattention of an employee or the business as a whole. Unfortunately, nursing home abuse occurs at an alarming rate, and those who injure your loved one in a nursing home facility should be held liable for their actions or inactions. When nursing home abuse or neglect occurs, seeking the legal advice and representation from an experienced nursing home negligence attorney is often your best course of action.

Nursing Home Negligence

There are several ways in which a nursing home may be negligent when it pertains to your loved ones. Nursing homes can be negligent by means of:

• Abuse
• Neglect
• Medical malpractice

Though nursing homes in Maryland are monitored by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and must adhere to strict requirements, such as having a policy in place to prevent nursing home negligence, this does not always happen. Elderly people can easily be abused and neglected and do not always have the ability to defend themselves or to speak up about such mistreatment. Because of this, seeking legal advice and representation is invaluable to both you and your loved one if you suspect that he or she is being mistreated or neglected by a nursing home facility.
