Failure to Follow a Care Plan and Nursing Home Neglect in Illinois (Part A)

It can be difficult to entrust your loved one to the care of a nursing home facility. When that trust is broken and it leads to nursing home neglect it can be devastating to the entire family. When you’re grappling with suspicions of nursing home neglect, a Chicago nursing home abuse lawyer has the experience to help you deal with the complex details of an Illinois nursing home abuse claim. While you make plans to relocate your loved one to a new location, a Chicago nursing home abuse lawyer will be able to investigate your case and compile the evidence necessary to help you fight for your Illinois nursing home abuse claim. One of the vital documents your Chicago nursing home abuse lawyer will scrutinize is your loved one’s care plan.Importance of a Care Plan in a Nursing HomeA care plan is specifically designed for your loved one after a comprehensive assessment is performed. It serves to make sure that everyone is on the same page as to the level of care that will be provided. It takes into consideration the unique needs and condition of your loved one. After a care plan has been devised it is shared with other nursing home staff members who will be interacting with your loved one. It is their responsibility to follow through on the care plan as it has been designed. In addition, it is important for the care plan to be evaluated to make sure it is working and that it takes into consideration changes in the patient’s condition, such as the need for additional medication or dietary alterations. It may be necessary to make adjustments to the care plan but when that is done, it should be communicated to other nursing home staff. When Failure to Follow a Care Plan Leads to Nursing Home Neglect If there is a failure to follow the care plan, that can lead to nursing home neglect. Since the care plan takes into account the physical, psychosocial and mental wellbeing of your loved one, any deviation from it can cause your loved one to suffer and lead to an Illinois nursing home abuse claim.Continue to Next Page >>
