Nursing homes are rarely your first choice for your loved one. You may have tried to help your family member remain at home for as long as possible. You might have considered having them live with you. Unfortunately, your parent or grandparent’s needs may require more than you and your house could offer. The practical and most loving answer is often to have your family member live in a nursing home where they can have the supervision and medical care they need 24 hours per day.
When you place a loved one in a Wisconsin nursing home, you expect them to receive excellent care from everyone they interact with. From the certified nursing assistants to the activities director, each staff member should uphold the nursing home’s duty of care toward your family member. When they fail to care for your loved one as they should, and this neglect or abuse leads to harm, you should contact our nursing home negligence lawyers at Studinski Law, LLC right away. We can review your loved one’s circumstances and advise you on their right and legal options, including whether they can seek compensation.

Nursing homes are required to uphold all relevant state and federal regulations and to provide reasonable care to their residents. This includes providing appropriate medical care and treatment and preventing medical issues like bed sores, urinary tract infections, and falls. Nursing home staff are required to uphold all resident’s rights, including to be free from medical errors and physical and chemical restraints. Also, staff members should not only be proactive in providing necessary care, they must avoid creating any risk of harm to the patients too.
If you believe your loved one has been neglected at a nursing home, your attorney will investigate the situation and the staff members’ actions to determine whether there was a violation of a professional standard of care, your loved one’s rights, or of a state or federal law. Evidence of one or more violations can support your loved one’s pursuit of compensation for their injuries.
A nursing home may be guilty of negligent care if an employee of the facility did not uphold their duty of care toward your loved one. This can take many forms, and encompass many different factual situations. Staff members, including physicians, nurses, and certified nursing assistants, all have a responsibility to treat patients with reasonable care in accordance with their training and standard practices within the profession. When they fail to uphold their professional obligations and the nursing home’s quality of care, then they are providing negligent care.
There is no reason or excuse for negligent care in nursing homes. Substandard care increases the risk of harm to your loved one and can directly lead to an injury, adverse medical event, or death. For instance, poor hygiene, dehydration, and improper catheterization all increase the risk urinary tract infections (UTIs), which can be painful to seniors, require aggressive antibiotics to treat, and could lead to more serious bladder and kidney infections.
If your loved one was injured due to negligent care at a nursing home, they may be able to recover compensation for:
