Nursing homes in Idaho have a duty and responsibility to provide adequate care to the residents. When a nursing home fails to provide the standard of reasonable care for patients, it can be held liable for injuries and damages.

Individuals working in a nursing home can also be held liable for abuse and neglect. Individuals guilty of abuse or neglect can face criminal charges and civil penalties. Our Boise nursing home abuse lawyers pursue all parties who may be responsible for or have liability for injuries, damages, or losses caused by nursing home abuse and neglect.

A nursing home can be liable for neglect, abuse, and injuries that result from several breaches in the duty of care, such as:

  • Failing to monitor residents and staff members adequately;
  • Negligent hiring policies and practices;
  • Failing to report instances of abuse to local law enforcement;
  • Failing to provide for a resident’s daily needs, including water, food, hygiene, medical care, and personal care;
  • Inadequate or negligent training and supervision of staff members;
  • Failing to protect residents from potential safety and health hazards;
  • Failing to provide adequate security; and,
  • Failing to notify medical providers and family members of changes in or emergencies regarding a patient’s health or medical conditions.

If you suspect your loved one has been abused or neglected in a long-term care facility or a nursing home, contact the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare to file a complaint. If your loved one is in immediate danger, contact your local law enforcement agency.

Injuries Caused by Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

The injuries sustained by nursing home residents can range from bruises and bedsores to broken bones and brain injuries. Family members should investigate all changes in a family member’s physical condition or emotional condition. Changes in mood can indicate abuse and neglect, in addition to physical signs of nursing home abuse.

It can be difficult to know if changes in health or mood are signs of abuse. If you are concerned, talk to your family member’s physician. If the physician is a member of the nursing home staff, seek an independent examination and opinion. Our Boise nursing home abuse attorneys can provide guidance and support as you take steps to protect your loved one from abuse and neglect in a nursing home.
