Bryan-College Station Nursing Home Neglect Attorney

Nursing home neglect is a type of elder abuse committed against older adults in nursing homes. It involves the substandard care of a resident, or a breach of duty that harms a resident.

Nursing home neglect, the inadequate care of nursing home residents, is shockingly common. According to the National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA), roughly 95% of nursing home residents have been neglected or have witnessed neglect. Inadequate care in nursing homes can have serious consequences, including death.

The Impact of Nursing Home Neglect

The consequences of nursing home neglect are nothing short of devastating, often leaving deep and lasting scars on both residents and their families. Residents who experience neglect may endure a range of physical, emotional, and psychological injuries. 

These can include serious conditions like:

• Bedsores,
• Infections, 
• Malnutrition,
• Dehydration,
•  Untreated medical issues that can rapidly worsen without proper care.
•  In some cases, the neglect is so severe that it leads to debilitating injuries, permanent disabilities, or even premature death.

Beyond the physical harm, the emotional and psychological impact on the resident can be profound. Elderly individuals who are neglected often suffer from feelings of abandonment, fear, anxiety, and depression. They may become withdrawn, lose trust in caregivers, and experience a significant decline in their overall quality of life. The emotional toll is compounded by the pain of being isolated or mistreated in what should be a safe and caring environment.

For families, discovering that a loved one has been neglected can be heartbreaking. The emotional burden of seeing a parent or grandparent suffer is often accompanied by guilt, anger, and a deep sense of betrayal.

 Families may also face significant financial challenges, as the costs associated with additional medical care, rehabilitation, or relocation to a safer facility can be overwhelming. In some cases, families may also need to arrange for funeral expenses if the neglect results in a tragic loss of life.

However, by holding nursing homes accountable for their negligence, families can take a stand against such injustices. Legal action not only helps secure compensation for the suffering endured but also serves as a powerful deterrent to prevent future neglect.

 Pursuing justice sends a clear message that the mistreatment of vulnerable elderly individuals will not be tolerated, and it can lead to systemic changes within the facility to improve care for all residents. Ensuring that your loved one receives the justice they deserve can bring a sense of closure and peace of mind, knowing that you have taken steps to protect others from similar harm.
