Delaware Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse Laws
Nursing home workers, while skilled and usually highly trained, are not typically medical professionals. Unfortunately, the elder care industry is a stressful and emotionally draining industry with a very high turnover rate. Even in the best of facilities, stress can lead to poor employee screening and failure to properly monitor vulnerable patients can result in serious injuries to elder residents. These injuries can include:
- Bedsores or pressure sores (also known as decubitus ulcers)
- Dehydration
- Malnutrition
- Deep vein thrombosis / blood clots
- Ignoring doctor’s orders
- Sexual Assault
- Verbal or Physical Abuse
