Hallandale Beach Medical Neglect

Negative medical outcomes can happen in any care environment. In some cases, they are honest mistakes or occur due to underlying medical conditions. In some situtaions, though, negative medical outcomes are preventable and occur due to medical neglect or medical malpractice in Hallandale Beach and other Florida communities. Medical malpractice refers to a situation in which a health care professional failed to act in a reasonable way to prevent injury or complication. Medical neglect is a specific type of malpractice or negligence that occurs when someone in care is not granted reasonable access to medical services or medical professionals. This form of neglect can occur in nursing homes and care homes, but it can also affect children at home or in schools. It can also affect patients in hospitals or clinics.

Preventing Medical Neglect in Hallandale Beach and Other Florida Communities

There are several things that families can do to reduce the risk of medical neglect in nursing homes and assisted living facilities:

  • Choose care facilities carefully. Research different facilities and get recommendations from doctors and friends. Investigate to see whether there are any complaints against the facility before placing a loved one in care.
  • Keep lines of communication open. Visit a loved one in an assisted living facility, care home, or other environment regularly. If possible, make these visits unannounced. This is an opportunity to see whether a loved one is settling in well and whether they have everything they need.
  • Respond quickly to any concerns or questions. If you notice that a loved one does not seem to be going to the doctor when needed or does not seem to be taking required medication or getting treatment for their condition, be sure to ask questions. If the management of the facility is not forthcoming, contact a personal injury attorney or the agency responsible for the facility. If you suspect that a loved one's life is in danger, contact authorities immediately to remove the resident and to get emergency help.
