Moving a loved one to a nursing home was likely a hard decision for you to make. You no doubt gave a lot of time and thought to ensure you found the most suitable facility for them. However, even with extensive research, there is still a risk that they might be exposed to infections in Nassau County nursing homes.
At Duffy & Duffy, our nursing home abuse attorneys have experience working with families whose relatives have suffered neglect while residing in a nursing facility. We advocate for those who have contracted infections due to the negligence of employees at their care facility.
Infections can be serious medical conditions that result in long-term consequences for an older adult, especially if the individual does not receive medical care promptly. Infections can result from a lack of cleanliness, particularly inadequate sanitization of equipment or surfaces. Residents who are immobile are more reliant on staff to help them, which can increase their exposure to infections. Nursing homes typically have many people living in close proximity, which can also contribute to contagious conditions quickly spreading among residents.
If a Nassau County care home has insufficient or improperly trained employees, there is a higher likelihood of your relative being exposed to an infection. Our experienced attorneys could help provide answers to your questions regarding the harm your loved one may have suffered due to a nursing home’s negligence.
Several common infections could be a threat to the health of your loved one, including:
If your relative has suffered from one of these infectious conditions in Nassau County, one of our experienced attorneys could help you determine if the negligence of the care home was a contributing factor.
Medical providers in Nassau County owe their patients a standard of care that includes minimizing the spread of infections. This standard requires a contagious condition to be quickly identified and the appropriate steps to be taken to reduce the risk of it infecting other patients.
A nursing home may not meet this standard of care if its staff are overworked and improperly trained, and this may result in negligence. Our firm can help you determine if this is the case and if your loved one has been harmed as a result.
When choosing a nursing home, you want to ensure the facility will provide your loved one with the best possible care. Unfortunately, the employees responsible for your relative’s care can make mistakes or be negligent while carrying out their duties. This can lead to the spread of infections in Nassau County nursing homes, which can have serious medical consequences for your relative. Therefore, it is important to identify if the cause or spread of the infection resulted from negligence.
Our attorneys at Duffy & Duffy could provide you with legal guidance and help you establish if negligence caused your relative to become infected in a care home. Contact our team today to review the facts of your case and help you understand your options.
