Medicare Assessment of Glendale Nursing Facilities Delivers Mixed Results

Medicare routinely grades nursing homes in order to inform the public regarding concerns such as understaffing, health and safety concerns and acts of negligence which may deter prospective residents from being placed in centers that are unqualified to meet their needs. Of 66 homes in the Glendale area, only 22 received a full five star rating, which reaffirms the consternation many have when they are forced to place their loved ones under professional care.

Our Glendale pressure sore lawyers use the Medicare nursing home compare tool to determine which facilities are most fit to recommend to clients whose loved ones need to be relocated due to neglect or abuse. You can find the tool at www.medicare.gov and easily compare multiple nursing centers to see which ones are most apt to deliver the standard of care your loved one deserves. Progression of Pressure Ulcers at Glendale Nursing Homes Unwarranted

Patients who are at risk of developing bedsores or who are currently suffering from them should receive special attention in order to prevent the worsening of the sores and to promote healing. Prevention and treatment measures usually occupy five to ten minutes of a caregiver’s time several times a day. It is simply unacceptable for patients to suffer in agony because of injuries that are completely preventable.

Changing the position that a patient is resting in and monitoring him or her for signs of sores is not very complicated. The reason caregivers are not able to provide this very basic care is normally because they are overworked and forced to address the needs of other patients. With inadequate manpower to check in with every patient, these patients receive minimal care and suffer for it.

Client Reviews

★★★★★
Jonathan did a great job helping my family navigate through a lengthy lawsuit involving my grandmother's death in a nursing home. Through every step of the case, Jonathan kept my family informed of the progression of the case. Although our case eventually settled at a mediation, I really was impressed at how well prepared Jonathan was to take the case to trial. Lisa

After I read Jonathan’s Nursing Home Blog, I decided to hire him to look into my wife’s treatment at a local nursing home. Jonathan did a great job explaining the process and the laws that apply to nursing homes. I immediately felt at ease and was glad to have him on my side. Though the lawsuit process was at times frustrating, Jonathan reassured me, particularly at my deposition. I really felt like Jonathan cared about my wife’s best interests, and I think that came across to the lawyers for the nursing home. Eric
