Lawyer for Nursing Home Abuse Cases in Omaha

With over 1.6 million people living permanently in nursing homes, it is only logical that some of these people will receive substandard care. While most homes are good places for the elderly, filled with competent and compassionate staff, some establishments hire employees based on a willingness to receive little pay, rather than skills and qualifications. While most inexperienced nursing staff employees will be negligent to the needs of their residents, some staff members are even cruel and abusive to their patients. In both cases, it is pertinent to seek out nursing home abuse representation in Omaha to help you take action against the home.

If you have a loved one in a nursing home, it is critical that you review the care they receive on a regular basis. Talk to your family member and assure they are well-fed, attended to and not abused.

While many people believe that bedsores are a common problem for the elderly, they should not be present in a nursing home. These unsightly sores can be easily avoided by moving immobile patients and changing sheets regularly. Untreated bedsores can become quite problematic, resulting in infections, a need for surgery, even paralysis or death. Bedsores are the number one indicator of negligence in a nursing home. Other signs that you may need to speak with a skilled Omaha personal injury lawyer include:

• Sudden changes in a patient’s behavior –particularly from outgoing to skittish
• Bruising, especially on the wrists or shoulders
• Dehydration or malnutrition
• Infections
• A patient’s fear of the staff
• Unhygienic conditions
• And more...
