There are three different code violations in Michigan that a nursing home can be cited for by state inspectors. These include:
- 223 – Abuse (i.e. resident with dementia slapped or pinched by a nurse’s aide when refusing to go to bed)
- 257 – Temperature (residents in rooms that top 90 degrees)
- 309 – Quality of Care (i.e. resident falls and lies in pain with broken hip that goes undiagnosed for several days)
Our Buckfire Law nursing home injury attorneys recommend that families be alert to the warnings signs that nursing home abuse may be taking place in the home that the elderly person is staying at. Some of these warning signs include bedsores, dehydration, mice and maggots, and medication errors.
In order to pursue a nursing home neglect case, one must prove that a nursing facility failed to properly care for a resident and that their negligence caused an injury. The process is very complex and requires an experienced nursing home neglect lawyer.
