When families entrust a loved one’s care to a nursing home, they rely on the nursing home to provide adequate care from responsible and trained staff. However, sometimes nursing homes are understaffed, fail to have the resources to properly care for patients, and sometimes nursing homes fail to vet their employees which can lead to cases of nursing home abuse. Due to COVID-19, many nursing homes have found themselves overwhelmed, either without the proper space to properly isolate residents who are ill, or understaffed due to outbreaks in the nursing home. When this happens, individuals who are sick with COVID-19 can end up being neglected, and even those who do not fall ill can suffer from neglect when nursing home resources and staff are stretched thin.

Nursing homes have a responsibility to prepare for outbreaks of COVID-19, to train their staff in how to properly care for residents, and to provide proper oversight of staff. If you believe your loved one has been a victim of nursing home abuse or nursing home neglect, you and your family may be able to seek justice under the law. The nursing home neglect lawyers at Miller Trial Law in Miami, Florida may be able to help you and your family seek the compensation you may deserve.
