North Carolina Nursing Home Infection Lawyer

North Carolina Nursing Home Infection Attorney

Nursing home residents are a high-risk population for infection due to their age and underlying health conditions. They can often be susceptible to severe injuries and tend to have already weakened immune systems, which can expose their bodies to harmful bacteria, germs, and viruses. Many nursing home residents may also lack the mobility required to properly clean themselves. A North Carolina Nursing Home Infection Lawyer at Pleasant Law, PLLC can help you seek justice if your loved one has suffered due to neglect and poor care in a nursing home. Our attorney, Thomas Pleasant, is experienced in handling similar legal cases and is committed to ensuring your loved ones receive the care they deserve.

These reasons are why it is especially important for nursing homes to ensure their residents maintain proper personal hygiene, even when they require assistance from staff, and to ensure that residents’ rooms and common spaces are sanitary. Nursing home medication errors can worsen residents’ health conditions, making it even more critical to maintain cleanliness and proper hygiene. Mistakes in medication administration, whether through incorrect dosages, missed doses, or improper prescriptions, can lead to serious health complications that are further compounded by unsanitary conditions.

The truth of the matter is, however, that North Carolina nursing home corporations rarely employ enough staff to properly tend to their patients, and they sometimes fail to follow comprehensive infection control guidelines, which are intended to prevent infections and slow the spread of harmful diseases.

The primary focus in infection cases is on a nursing home that fails to diagnose and treat an infection, which then becomes life-threatening and deadly. For example, some residents get urinary tract infections (“UTIs”) through no fault of the facility, but the nursing home staff fails to adequately assess and monitor the resident for worsening. This can lead to a deadly sepsis infection and death, especially in the elderly.
