Traverse City Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers
A Traverse City nursing home being investigated for nursing home abuse did not do enough to prevent the abuse, according to a report by the Michigan Department of Community Health. The Tendercare Health Center-Birchwood facillity has had several incidents of resident on resident abuse and assault since 2006. The state concluded employees of the facillity failed to stop attackers from exploiting vulnerable residents, especially older women with dementia or disabilities, from physical and sexual assaults.
I am very sorry this abuse has happened. I think it is important to hold nursing homes and their employees accountable when they are complicit in this kind of abuse and neglect.
When a resident is abused or neglected in a nursing home, the victim or his or her family may be able to file a lawsuit against the nursing home or its employees. A nursing home abuse case can involve incidents where a resident is injured through neglect by the employees themselves, such as when employees fail to move a disabled resident and severe bed sores develop, or a case can involve incidents such as this one where the employees fail to protect residents from aggression by other residents. An experienced Michigan nursing home abuse lawyer could help evaluate a possible lawsuit.
