Families are often left in the position of making difficult decisions to ensure that their family members receive the care that they need. In fact, many families in Maryland and across the country often come to the conclusion that they are no longer able to meet the needs of an aging loved one, prompting them to make the decision to place them in a nursing home. While most of these facilities are dedicated to providing quality care their residents' needs, some families find themselves wondering if their loved one was the victim of nursing home negligence.
Unfortunately, a family in another state found themselves asking if their mother was the victim of such negligence following her death. She reportedly fell in Jan. 2016 while under the care of staff at a convalescent home. Reports indicate that she died two weeks later due to injuries she suffered in the fall.
