The nursing home abuse lawyers at HensonFuerst want to make everyone aware that the week of May 11-16 is National Nursing Home Week. We would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone of the vulnerability of our loved ones who live in nursing homes across our country, and to thank those who work tirelessly to care for their needs. We also want to remind those who own and operate nursing homes that the best way to nurture and care for residents in your facilities is to insure that there are enough staff to meet their needs. I have seen countless cases where the direct care workers are doing their absolute best to give the needed care, but the owners of the facility have not given them enough staff to properly do their jobs, and the end result is neglect of the ones who are the most vulnerable. Nursing home abuse and neglect can be stopped, and we should all use this week as a reminder of those things that can be done to improve the quality of life of our elderly.
