Cincinnati Nursing Home Employee Negligence Lawyer
When your family began searching for an appropriate long-term care facility for your loved one, you may have heard glowing sales pitches at each place that you toured or inquired about. The strong sales messages may have made it difficult to predict what the quality of care would actually be like. Nursing homes, rehabilitation centers and assisted living facilities exist to care for old, disabled, sick, weak and recovering individuals, yes – but they most certainly exist to make a profit.
Sometimes the push for profit overtakes the bottom-line responsibility that long-term care facilities have to care for residents. This often becomes evident when incidents of abuse or negligence are traced back to an employee or employees who should not have been there. Perhaps an employee had inadequate training, had a history of abuse in previous care facilities or had a criminal record.
Nursing homes and other long-term care facilities typically hold themselves out as safe havens for loved ones. The care that takes place in a facility for disabled, weak and elderly individuals is very hands-on and time-sensitive. A fundamental component of the facility’s responsibility is to make sure employees are properly vetted. Caregivers should have had no serious past problems in other facilities. A proper background check at the time of hiring and/or if signs of trouble show up can help prevent unfortunate and harmful acts of negligence or abuse.
