How to choose a nursing home
When New Mexico residents realize they need to put a parent in a nursing home, they may not know which facility to choose. Many people may have heard stories about nursing home neglect. To ensure a nursing home will take good care of seniors, there are a few questions people should ask when they visit different facilities.
What should I look for when selecting a care facility?
Looking for a nursing home for your aging parents can seem a daunting task, especially after you have heard about incidents of abuse and neglect throughout New Mexico and the rest of the country. The last thing you want is to find out that the caregivers you entrust with the health and well-being of your parents are not treating them right.
Violence can endanger the lives of nursing home residents
If you have a parent living in a nursing home, you may feel anxious about his or her well-being. It is normal to be concerned about your parents’ happiness and comfort when they are no longer independent and must rely on someone to care for them, especially when they are approaching their final days. As we at the Harvey & Foote Law Firm know, New Mexico residents should also be aware that some nursing home staff members do not have their residents’ best interests in mind.
Pursuing a pressure sore injury claim
Pressure sores, or bedsores, are common injuries often caused by negligent care of patients. In negligence cases, it may be possible to pursue justice.
