Nursing Homes

Nursing homes are supposed to provide our parents and loved ones with dignity and care.  At Miller &  Hampton, we hold negligent nursing homes accountable for their disgraceful behavior. Experience has taught us how some operators cut corners for large profits, mislead families, and fail to maintain adequate standards of care and supervision. 

You should demand from nursing homes nothing less than what we demand for our own grandparents, parents, or loved ones.

Nursing Home Negligence

Although every case is different, certain kinds of negligence are clearly identifiable. 

• Bed sores
• Dehydration
• Missed meals
• Medication errors
• Improper hygiene and bedding
• Falls and unattended wanderings
• Staffing problems that lead to neglect
• Lack of adequate background checks for employees

Neglect in many of these areas can lead to further medical complications that are, in certain instances, life threatening. 

When caring for someone’s life is one’s business, there is no excuse for failing to take care of basic needs and necessities.

Nursing homes are regulated by law and subject to inspection.  They know the standards they are expected to maintain and the procedures they should follow.  They also understand the fines they are subject to and the conditions necessary for retaining their license.  For these reasons, when neglect occurs, many are reluctant to step forward and inform families.
