At the Heart of the Problem: Inadequate Staffing
At the Law Offices of Barry Levinson, we strongly believe that the majority of nursing home abuse and elder neglect cases could have been prevented if the facility had simply been staffed better.
When you turn to us to handle a case involving abuse or neglect of an elderly loved one, we will conduct a thorough investigation. More often than not, we find one of the following staffing issues at the heart of the problem:
Not Enough Staff
For a nursing home to function properly, it must employ enough people to properly monitor all residents and perform all of the necessary duties. If a facility functions shorthanded, then corners end up being cut and problems go undetected. The end result is often nursing home abuse and neglect.
Poorly Trained Staff
Staff needs to be trained on important procedures, on how to use equipment and much more. Without that training, they certainly can't be expected to do their jobs properly. Unfortunately, this is the cause of many problems in nursing homes.
The Wrong Staff
Nursing home workers are not typically paid very high wages. There is often a great deal of turnover. As nursing homes strive to fill positions, they often overlook problems in background checks that would indicate a potential for future abuse or neglect.
