Improper Nursing Staff Training in Cleveland
Ohio Nursing Home Injury Attorney
Nursing homes perform a necessary function in today's society. Those who cannot attend to themselves or are in need of specialized care hope to find themselves in the care of a dedicated and professional nursing home staff. Sadly, this does not always happen.
The Cleveland improper training attorneys at Mishkind Law Firm have a great deal of experience guiding clients through this emotionally challenging time. When a loved one suffers abuse or neglect at the hands of those they trust, it is important to seek the counsel of an experienced attorney.
Due to factors such as high turnover or employee attrition, nursing homes are constantly searching for the right people to fill a staff. Many times, they feel rushed to fill a need and do not provide adequate training before giving a new hire responsibility. When this happens, the staff might not have the training, education or attention to give the nursing home residents proper care.
Elder abuse can come in many forms. Unfortunately, when elderly individuals rely on others for their care, attention, medication and nutrition, tragedy can strike. A negligent or improperly trained nursing home staff can cause problems for elderly patients, including:
- Improper use of restraints
