TYPES OF COMPLAINTS
Nursing Home Complaint Regarding Accidental Injuries
Residents suffer nursing home injury from accidents in a wide variety of ways. Federal regulations charge nursing homes with responsibility for keeping the facility free of hazards and for providing residents with adequate supervision and assistance. This expresses the basic promise that nursing homes make when they take residents in: that they will keep your mother or father safe.
The federal regulation provides:
Accidental Injury (482.25(h))
(h) Accidents. The facility must ensure that--
(1) The resident environment remains as free of
accident hazards as is possible; and
(2) Each resident receives adequate supervision
and assistance devices to prevent accidents.
The submission process was easy to use and very straightforward. After submitting my complaint, I received confirmation from the Illinois Dept. of Public Health that they had received my complaint and would be investigating the nursing home.
