According to announcements released by O’Malley Tunstall PLLC – Nursing Home Neglect Lawyers, neglect by long-term care facilities can have severe repercussions for the elderly. Such neglect includes more than physical actions and mental and financial harassment. The North Carolina law firm of O’Malley Tunstall PLLC offers legal help and counsel to those who think their loved one is not being treated correctly at a nursing home.
Apart from the residents of assisted living homes, the staff too can conduct themselves in a manner that jeopardizes the well-being of a person.
Signs of nursing home neglect and mistreatment include bedsores, a preference for seclusion and avoidance of social activities, expenses that don’t add up, weight loss, listlessness, distress, and fractures.
O’Malley Tunstall PLLC recommends that a law firm focusing in this niche of personal injury be contacted immediately if a resident is not allowed to meet with family or be left alone for private conversations.

Facilities can be held responsible for residents contracting contagious diseases. O’Malley Tunstall PLLC investigates to determine if a client’s family member was exposed to contagions because of lapses on the part of the assisted living facility.

Nursing homes are expected to ensure that the staff is not working when experiencing sickness symptoms. These establishments are expected to cancel events and group activities if there is a threat of contagious disease spreading. The staff at nursing homes should be provided with personal protection equipment.
