Nursing Home Negligence: Failure to Monitor Patients

As a result of Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, nursing home patients are often at risk of serious injury. When patients wander off of nursing home grounds, they often can experience serious injuries.

It is the duty of nursing homes and their staff to carefully watch and monitor patients to protect them from such danger. This includes appropriate monitoring and enacting measures designed to protect patients from slip and fall injuries, prolonged exposure to heat and cold, electrocution, burns and other serious injuries.
