Injuries and Falls in an Anaheim Nursing Home
California requires nursing homes in Anaheim and throughout the state to maintain a high standard of care for all senior citizens in their care. Any convalescent home or senior care facility should employ certified medical professionals and maintain regular monitoring and patient care schedules to ensure the well being and safety of each patient.
Unfortunately, in many cases certified staffing is much lower than required by law resulting in a lack of oversight and care.
Beds in these facilities can be too high off the ground, and when a patient attempts to simply go to the rest room or bathe themselves they can become disoriented and fall. The older we become the more fragile our bodies and bones become, and fractured hips and severe head injuries are not uncommon in these types of facilities.
If your parent or grandparent is injured or suffers neglect or nursing home abuse in Anaheim or anywhere in Southern California in any way you should take immediate action to ensure that witness statements and vital evidence can be obtained and preserved.
