Falsification of Nursing Home Records Constitutes Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Written by Adam Peck Category: Nursing Homes January 23rd, 2013 1 min read

A nursing home falsified medical records to make it seem as if their family member had been checked on more than he actually was in a recent matter handled by the Peck law Group. It was also claimed that the elder victim was suffering from malnutrition and dehydration while supposedly being cared for by nursing home staff members. All of the neglect in care was due in large part to the understaffing at the facility, caused by the owner’s drive for maximized profits.

Many of the most common signs of poor nursing home care were exhibited here: bedsores, malnutrition and dehydration, and understaffing. Of course, when employees attempt to falsify medical records at a facility, it becomes increasingly difficult to prove misconduct. It is often a real struggle to get at the truth in these situations, which is why it is vital to contact experienced Peck Law Group Nursing home lawyers to help if you or your loved one has been hurt by poor care at one of these facilities.
