Placing a loved one in a nursing home facility can be one of the most difficult decisions you and your family will ever make. For many Americans, the decision to place a loved one in a nursing home is based on the belief that they will receive better care in an assisted living environment. However, so many times this is not the case. Nursing homes in Alabama and around the country are understaffed and often poorly trained.

Nursing home negligence can take many forms. Such as failure to:

• Provided proper nutrition, hydration, and/or medical care,
• Promptly respond to call/help lights,
• Turn residents (i.e. to prevent bed sore),
• Take precautions to prevent injury or a fall,
• Correctly medicate,
• Assist with personal hygiene,
• Call a physician.
