Nursing Home Medical Malpractice: Failure to Diagnose and Treat

Nursing homes and their medical staff are responsible for the safety and well-being of patients in their care. One critical component of patient care is the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions that may pose a threat to a patient’s welfare.

Failure to diagnose and treat any medical condition may constitute negligence. Some common types of medical conditions that may be misdiagnosed because of negligence include:

  • Cancer
  • Pneumonia
  • Alzheimer’s
  • Dehydration and malnutrition
  • Bed sores
