Nursing Home Regulation

Nursing Home Regulations SOMETIMES ARE IGNORED!

Nursing homes are required to follow strict rules. They must be inspected. They must have comprehensive care plans. They must have sufficient staff. The state of South Carolina and the federal government have created regulations — and nursing homes must follow them.

Unfortunately, nursing homes sometimes cut corners at the expense of the people in their care. When they do, people are harmed. We know what to look for in the medical records and in the documents that regulate the nursing homes. Nursing home abuse must be stopped!

If your loved one suffered an injury because of nursing home negligence, turn to an experienced attorney who can help you get justice. At Peake & Fowler Law Firm, P.A., our nursing home negligence attorneys stand up for the people who need help the most. Contact our firm today for the assistance you need.

The following are some of the regulations for nursing homes. Nursing homes must:

Have a enough staff working in the facility
Develop a care plan for each resident
Make sure residents receive proper treatment
Make sure residents do not develop bed sores
Maintain dignity and respect of each resident
Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident

The above is a partial list. There are many more regulations. For more information, visit the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services web site or the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control.
