Nursing Home Neglect in Raleigh, North Carolina

Entrusting the care of an elderly loved one into the hands of a North Carolina nursing home can often be one of the most difficult decisions that a person has to make. When we reach the point where we are unfortunately unable to care for our elderly loved ones, it often stems from the fact that our loved ones need a degree of care and attention that we simply cannot provide for them. Nursing homes are expected to offer this degree of care for residents, and as such, we trust nursing homes to take proper care of our loved ones.

According to North Carolina General Statute 131E-122, health care facilities, including nursing homes, “shall provide appropriate staff training to implement each patient’s rights” to ensure that the patient is granted the care they deserve. However, not all nursing homes are diligent in ensuring that their residents are properly taken care of by caregivers and other support staff.

North Carolina nursing home neglect is an issue that doesn’t seem terribly harmful. However, if an elderly nursing home resident who cannot properly care for him or herself is neglected, then that individual becomes extremely susceptible to diminished health as a result. In all cases where nursing homes neglect their residents, those nursing homes can and should be held accountable for their actions. Contracted to perform a service, neglect represents a breach of contract. Thus, this serious disservice to the elderly is especially problematic given the fact that the physical well-being of a nursing home resident is placed in grave jeopardy if neglect takes place.
