Las
Vegas, Nevada What Does the Center Do?
The
Nursing Home Negligence Center of Nevada has one primary objective: Justice. Justice
for the malicious treatment of a variety of ailments brought on by negligent caregivers
to residents. Justice to the victim; Justice to the family; and Justice to the
perpetrator. The center focuses on hearing individual cases, trying lawsuits,
and instituting reform. Victims can have their questions answered 24 hours a day,
telephonically or by email. Do not delay-call for a free, confidential appointment.
Let our experience help you and your loved ones. When tragedy strikes, don't let
your anger overwhelm your rights. Contact Benson & Bingham today. The
Most Common Ailments We Encounter: Bed
Sores: Bed sores can occur when a person is bedridden, unconscious, unable
to sense pain, or immobile. Bed sores are ulcers that occur on areas of the skin
that are under pressure from lying in bed, sitting in a wheelchair, and/or wearing
a cast for a prolonged period of time. Bedsores can be prevented by inspecting
the skin for areas of redness (the first sign of skin breakdown). Other methods
of preventing bed sores and preventing progression of existing bed sores include:
| Bed
Sore Injury Prevention |
• | Frequent
turning and repositioning | • | Providing
soft padding in wheelchairs and beds to reduce pressure | • | Providing
good skin care by keeping the skin clean and dry | Specific
treatment of a bed sore is determined by your physician and based on the severity
of the condition. Treatment may be more difficult once the skin is broken, and
may include:
| Bed
Sore Injury Treatment | • | Removing
pressure on the affected area | • | Protecting
the wound with medicated gauze or other special dressings | • | Keeping
the wound clean | • | Transplanting
healthy skin to the wound area | • | Medication
(i.e., antibiotics to treat infections) | Falls:
Fall-related
injuries are a major health threat for nursing home residents. Older people who
live in nursing homes tend to fall more frequently than older adults who live
within the community. Approximately 50% of nursing home residents aged 65 and
over fall each year, and nearly 1,800 die annually as a result of their falls.
About 10 to 20 percent suffer injuries, and 6 percent sustain fractures. In a
typical 100-bed nursing home, 100 to 200 falls are reported each year, and many
go unreported. When older people fall, they can experience decreased physical
functioning, a reduction in the quality of life, decreased confidence, and an
increased fear of falling, which can lead to further functional decline, depression,
social isolation, and feelings of helplessness.
| Fall
Related Injuries |
• | Wet
floors | • | Poor
lighting | • | Lack
of necessary bedrails and improper bed heights | • |
Improperly maintained or fitted wheelchairs | • | Debris
and Clutter | • | Medications,
especially mind altering drugs | • | Difficulty
in moving patients, or assisting them to the restroom, due to poor staffing | • | Failure
to have sufficient staff to answer call buttons | • | Failure
to have call buttons that are in proper working condition | • | Failure
to properly train staff in lifting and handling techniques | • | Failure
of the staff to adequately supervise residents | • |
Poor foot care | • | Restraints | • | Weakness
and gait problems associated with malnutrition and/or dehydration |
Neglect
and Wrongful Death:
Neglect and forceful medicating can lead victims
to feel like prisoners of their own body, vegetating until the next dose. This
horrific and common medicating practice is not only a civil rights violation but
also a criminal act. Neglect leading to wrongful
death can also bring murder charges and/or negligent homicide. WHEN

LAW FIRM THAT WILL WORK HARD TO PROTECT YOUR LOVED ONE'S RIGHTS. Find
