Camila Ueoka, New York Personal Injury Lawyers Comment on The State of Nursing Homes and How They are Affected by the Ownership of Private Investment Groups
New York, NY (PRWEB) October 4, 2007 -- Neil Schreffler, partner at Personal Injury Law Firm (http://schrefflerschwarz.com/services-nursing.php) Schreffler Schwarz comments on the recent New York Times article by Charles Duhigg entitled "At Many Homes, More Profit and Less Nursing."
For more than 25 years Neil has represented the victims of the nursing home negligence (http://schrefflerschwarz.com/negligence-cases.php) of individuals and of the medical malpractice (http://schrefflerschwarz.com/doctor-dentist-medical-malpractice.php) of doctors and hospitals. A longtime member of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association, the New York Academy of Trial Lawyers, and the American Association for Justice, Neil has handled every type of negligence case from inception to appeal.
"The conditions at too many nursing homes are appalling," states partner Neil Schreffler. " He continues, "even more appalling is that corporate owners are allowed to reap huge profits by cutting staffing at the expense of the extremely vulnerable aged population they are supposed to be in the business of caring for. And they are allowed to do this while insulating themselves from accountability and responsibility through shell corporations without sufficient assets."
The article, dated September 23, 2007, basically digs up the dirt on the industry as a whole. It describes the absolute disregard for elders in our country and how the industry has more than fallen by the waist side. As the corporations cut staffing for profit and there are fewer nurses and care givers in the actual home to do the necessary work, more people get injured.
Nursing home injury can include any one of the following:
- Bedsores
- Infections
- Dehydration and Malnutrition
- Abuse and Assault
- Restraint Injuries and Strangulation
- Falls and Fractures
- Failure to Medicate
- Prescription Errors
- Misdiagnosis/ Failure to Diagnose
- Medical Mistakes
- Failure to Monitor
- Financial Abuse
- Physical Restraint
- Wrongful death
Schreffler exclaims, "If our state and federal governments want to protect our elderly, they need to impose mandatory insurance coverage for nursing home operators. Owners of motor vehicles are required to have insurance; certainly our fathers, mothers and other loved ones are entitled to the same protection."
