When a nursing home accepts a new elderly resident, it also accepts a certain degree of responsibility. This is known as the duty of care. They have the responsibility of providing residents with a reasonable degree of care to protect them from injuries and abuse in a safe and appropriate environment. When this duty of care is not fulfilled, your loved one can become a victim of neglect or abuse. This can include physical abuse, sexual abuse, financial exploitation, malnutrition, mismanagement of medication, unsanitary living conditions, bed sores, falls and fractures/broken bones, choking, and untimely death. If this happens you are entitled to seek compensation for your loved one.
