Main Reasons for Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Nursing home abuse and neglect has become a major problem not only in Tennessee but throughout the country as well. There may be several reasons for this neglect, but one of the main reasons is improperly training and not enough staff to go around. When choosing a Knoxville nursing home for someone you care about the first step you should take is to visit the nursing home you are considering. During your visit, it is important to notice the condition and overall well-being of the other patients. Do they look happy and well taken care of or are they yelling for someone’s help or seem to be in pain? Also, it is a good idea to ask several questions about the nursing home and their procedures for training their staff and feeding, and caring for the residents. Does the food look properly prepared? Do the residents seem to be getting enough to eat or drink? How many staff is there per floor or per resident? It is important to make sure that these questions and concerns are answered thoroughly so that you can make the best decision about where your loved one should live. Once you decide on a nursing home, it is advised to keep up with visits and continue to ask questions. If you see signs of nursing home abuse or neglect, then you should speak with the nursing home’s administration right away. If your complaints are not being resolved, you can contact the Tennessee Department of Health about your suspicions of abuse.

If after deciding on a nursing home for your loved one, you suspect that nursing home abuse or neglect has taken place, you are encouraged to talk to one of our experienced and caring nursing home neglect attorneys at the Higgins Firm.
