There is almost nothing more infuriating than when the facility you trust to care for your loved one breaches that trust. There are, unfortunately, numerous instances nationwide where lack of proper staffing, training, supervision, or negligent dispensing of medication, or a failure to follow procedure have resulted in injuries and often death to Nursing Home Residents.
Accidental Injury Advocates, Ltd. partners with other premier Nursing Home Litigation Firms in the U.S. to investigate and, if necessary, litigate Nursing Home Negligence cases in North Carolina and Virginia.
What many folks don't know is that the Federal Government Regulates Nursing Home Facilities due to the fact that they typically receive their funds through medicare. There is an actual set of rights that is conferred by the Federal Government on all residents of Skilled Nursing Facilities. Just a few of those rights are:
- the right to be free of interference, coercion, discrimiation, and reprisal from the facility in exercising his or her rights;
- the right to obtain all records of treatment within 24 hours after written or oral request(excludes holidays and weekends);
- the right of all residents to be fully informed, in a language they can understand, of their total health status;
- the right to refuse treatment.
