Inadequate care in a nursing home may arise from a number of different conditions. The nursing home’s failures to assist in personal hygiene, prevent malnutrition, protect from safety hazards, and provide medical care would all qualify as inadequate care under most agreements.

Federal and state laws require nursing home to create a plan of care and employ enough staff to provide all the care outlined on the care plan. When this is not achieved, inadequate care has taken place and the well-being of residents is risked. Everyone wants the best for their loved ones, but it is a violation of trust when nursing homes provide inadequate care.
