Nursing Home Negligence in Minnesota
In nursing homes across Minnesota, numerous helpless elderly residents suffer due to abuse and neglect. In many cases, nursing home negligence is the result of understaffing. When nursing homes cut corners by not hiring enough employees, there are simply not enough qualified staff members on hand to adequately monitor and provide care for residents.
Common examples of nursing home injuries include:
Bedsores
Restraint injuries
Malnutrition
Dehydration
Wandering off (elopement)
Nursing home falls
Medication errors
Whatever the cause of nursing home neglect, it is important that victims are removed from danger as quickly as possible.
