Nursing homes just like hospitals and doctors offices need to be properly monitored in order to prevent injury and death due to negligence. All too often negligence in nursing homes goes undetected and is ignored due to the fact that those that are patients are typically the oldest and sickest and unfortuneately can be ignored. Many states are now starting to inhance their inspections of nursing homes looking to make sure they are in compliance with applicable laws. Such laws and enforcement of the laws is just the beginning of holding nursing homes accountable. If you believe a loved one is being improperly cared for and being put at risk in a nursing home make sure you report it and take action. Everyone must speak up for those that cannot protect themselves.
