Nursing Home Residents Bill of Rights
In Connecticut, nursing home residents have rights, including the right to be free of abuse and neglect and to be cared for by a facility that meets all state and federal requirements. We are familiar with the Connecticut Nursing Home Resident Bill of Rights and standards of care for nursing homes. We are prepared to take legal action to compensate victims whose rights were violated.
Nursing home negligence can take many forms, including failure to:
- Assess fall risks or to implement fall prevention programs
- Prevent malnutrition or dehydration
- Prevent bed sores
- Monitor residents adequately
- Protect residents from physical or sexual abuse by nursing home staff or other residents
- Prevent wandering or elopement
- Provide access to medical care
Many nursing home residents are already physically fragile. A fall-related injury or an infection can trigger a rapid decline that can quickly lead to death.
