The Rights and Expectations of Nursing Home Residents
Residents of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities are guaranteed certain rights and protections under Oklahoma and federal laws. If a nursing home fails to protect and provide for these rights, they may be liable for any damages caused by their lack of care. The duty of care owed by nursing home facilities to residents includes, but is not limited to, providing the following:
- Adequate and appropriate medical care, without discrimination based on the form of payment
- Proper nutrition and hydration
- Properly-trained staff twenty-four hours a day, sufficient to meet the needs of all residents in the facility
- Licensed, certified professionals providing care and medical assistance
- Proper security to protect against theft and physical harm
- Proper skincare, haircare, oral care, and other bodily hygiene
- Supportive devices for lying, sitting and walking
- Regular check-ups to ensure safety and health
- Turning bed-ridden residents regularly to prevent bedsores and other issues
- Clean linens, towels, and clothes
If a nursing facility fails to provide for any of these fundamental rights or responsibilities, they may be liable for any resulting harm. The nursing home lack of care attorneys at Levinson Law, P.C., can help you investigate nursing homes and other facilities to ensure that they are providing residents with proper care and attention. If they fail in their duty of care, our lack of care lawyers will work with you to explore your options for recourse.
