Long-term care facilities (also called nursing homes, assisted living facilities, retirement homes, and elder care facilities) have a duty to provide a safe environment for their residents and uphold a standard of medical care. When caregivers or their employers fail to meet this standard, they must be held legally accountable. Typically, accountability comes in the form of monetary compensation for the family. Compensation may include reimbursement for medical expenses and therapy, pain and suffering and other related damages. A lawsuit also serves to hold the negligent party accountable for their actions and help prevent future abuses.
