Nursing homes across Minnesota have an obligation to comply with minimum care standards established by state and federal regulations.   Many times the explanation for injuries occurring to residents of Minnesota nursing homes, assisted living and other types of elder care facilities is related to a corporate organization which is focused on maximizing profits at the expense of resident safety.   Many of the incidents resulting in serious injury or death could have been prevented with increased numbers of attentive and well qualified staff, or through the use of properly functioning and maintained nursing home equipment.  An understaffed facility using antiquated or poorly maintained patient lifts, beds, and wheelchairs is likely to have care issues as a result.

Minnesota law requires that a nursing home must have on duty at all times a sufficient number of qualified nursing personnel, including registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nursing assistants to meet the needs of the residents at all nurses' stations, on all floors, and in all buildings if more than one building is involved. This includes relief duty, weekends, and vacation replacements.

Falls, pressure ulcers, dehydration, medication errors and physical, verbal or sexual abuse are only a few of the types of preventable neglect or maltreatment which occur in nursing homes and other elder care facilities.   Attorney Kenneth LaBore, is an advocate for elderly and vulnerable nursing home residents who sustain serious or fatal injuries due to maltreatment in the form of neglect or abuse.
