Nursing homes, in Georgia and across the nation, have minimum staffing requirements to ensure patient safety. Standards apply to staffing levels of nurses as well as other employees. Too few staff members can lead to poor monitoring of patient health leading to malnutrition. Poor monitoring of security can lead to a nursing home fall, or wandering / elopement. Prescription errors may occur as a result of being hurried when distributing patient medication.

A common form of negligence related to inadequate staffing is the development of bed sores on patients. The staff is unable to regularly reposition patients who cannot move themselves. Bed sores can lead to infections that can be life-threatening.

If the nursing home was cutting corners on staffing costs and your loved one sustained injuries, it's time to tell them you mean business.
