Nursing Home Restraints

Too often restraints are used in nursing homes for the convenience of the staff, not the safety and security of a vulnerable patient. When physical and chemical restraints cause injury or result in an unnecessary loss of dignity, talk to a nursing home restraint injury lawyer at the Brandi Law Firm.

Nursing Home Restraint Injury
California, Nevada and Arizona Elder Neglect Lawyer

Nursing homes exist for the compassionate, safe care of people who can no longer care for themselves. Patients should be treated with dignity and respect. There are times when safe restraints are necessary. Staff convenience does not qualify as necessary use of nursing home restraints.

When physical restraints with ties are used, the ties can tangle and cause the patient to fall. Or, the patient’s movements can be so restricted that bed sores result. Physical restraints can cause falls, strangulations, and even wrongful death.

Chemical restraints – medications to control behavior – can calm a patient, or they can sedate a patient to the point of being barely conscious. Sedation can lead to falls, confusion, and lethargy. While some medication may be indicated for depression or other disorders, no patient should be subjected to over-sedation.
