Nursing Home Neglect Lawyers: Medical Neglect
People are placed in nursing homes so that they have access to around-the-clock, skilled nursing care. Yet nursing homes frequently neglect the medical needs of residents.
Medical neglect is defined as lack of care for existing medical problems, such as ignoring a medically necessary diet, not calling a physician when necessary, being unaware of potential side effects of medication, or failing to recognize and take action to resolve a medical problem. Poor access to medical services and mistakes in the administration of drugs are also forms of medical neglect.
