Georgia Nursing Home Prescription Error Lawyer
Nursing homes have a responsibility to follow numerous laws while providing patients with care. When nursing homes administer medication, for instance, drugs must be properly:
- Ordered
- Recorded
- Stored
- Administered and monitored
Despite the complexities involved when caring for the elderly, disabled and incapacitated, nursing homes often cut staff to save money, or fail to supervise staff members. When injuries and deaths occur, nursing home owners are often liable and need to pay compensation.
