What are the Basic Problems with the Nursing Care System?
Serving Throughout the Great State of Texas
For all residents, the nursing facility is expected to be both a home and a hospital. Providers must meet all of these demands in the face of increasing reluctance by Congress and state agencies to adequately fund, through Medicaid, the costs involved with a higher standard of resident care. Although the above problems do not prevent all nursing homes from providing a good environment and quality care, Texas nursing home abuse leading to injury or death still commonly occurs.
Most cases revolve around unintentional acts caused by inadequate care and supervision. Most negligence claims against nursing homes stem from injuries that occur when residents wander away or fall.
A variety of situations cause other injuries. These include:
-
Bedsores and resulting complications, including gangrene
-
Malnutrition from underfeeding or improper nutrition
-
Depression and stress stemming from abrupt moves (transfer trauma) or improper use of restraints
-
Scalding from boiling bath water or thermal blanket burns
-
Institutional epidemics such as food poisoning
