Understaffing affects nursing home employees by causing high turnover, low morale, fatigue and physical injuries. Poorly paid nursing assistants provide the most direct care, and demands placed upon them are often impossible to meet says San Diego Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Attorney Steven Peck,
Profit-driven multi million dollar corporations that own these institutions must be held accountable. The private-pay charge for a nursing home room is more than $5,000 a month. The charge for Medicaid residents is lower but still substantial. Yet, these facilities continue to be understaffed which causes our elder and dependant adults to be seriously neglected.
Although elderly residents are awarded certain nursing home rights, some facilities, either unknowingly or intentionally, may violate these basic rights. If you suspect your loved one is being abused in a nursing home or otherwise deprived of their nursing home resident rights, such as bed sores, dehydration, malnutrition, infection, under staffing, physical abuse, you should immediately contact us toll free at 1.866.999.9085 or on-line at www.thepecklawgroup.com for a free thorough case review and evaluation.
