What are Nursing Home Claims?

Nursing homes are entrusted with the care and wellbeing of vulnerable individuals, often the elderly or those with disabilities. Unfortunately, instances of neglect or abuse can occur in these facilities, leading to serious physical and emotional harm. If you or a loved one has experienced inadequate care in a nursing home, you may be entitled to pursue a nursing home claim. 

In Ireland, nursing homes are regulated to ensure high standards of care; however, lapses can happen due to understaffing, lack of training, or insufficient oversight. These failures can result in neglect, abuse, or medical errors, causing significant suffering to residents.

Common issues in nursing home claims include:

• Neglector inadequate supervision
• Physical abuse or emotional abuse
• Medication errors
• Failure to provide proper nutrition or hydration
• Pressure sores or bedsores
• Falls or accidents due to unsafe conditions
• Failure to provide necessary medical care
• Improper handling of residents
• Unreported injuries
• Improper discharge practices
