Signs Your Loved One May Be a Victim of Failure to Monitor

Recognizing failure to monitor early can prevent further harm. Common indicators include:

• Unexplained injuries, bruises, or fractures from falls.
• Worsening health conditions, like infections or bedsores (pressure ulcers), which affect 1 in 10 nursing home residents according to CDC data.
• Rapid weight loss, dehydration, or malnutrition due to missed meals or fluids.
• Medication mishaps, such as overdoses, missed doses, or adverse reactions.
• Emotional distress, isolation, or sudden behavioral changes signaling neglect.

If you notice these signs, document them and seek medical attention immediately. Our attorneys can investigate to determine if negligence occurred.

Understanding Nursing Home Failure to Monitor

Nursing homes in Georgia are required by federal (Nursing Home Reform Act of 1987) and state laws to provide adequate supervision and care. Failure to monitor happens when staff neglect to observe, assess, or respond to residents’ needs, often due to understaffing, poor training, or cost-cutting measures. This can lead to:

• Preventable falls (a leading cause of injury in nursing homes, often from lack of supervision or safety aids like bed alarms).
• Delayed treatment for infections, sepsis, or urinary tract issues.
• Development of bedsores from failure to reposition residents.
• Medication errors or unchecked health declines.

Such lapses violate residents’ rights to dignity, safety, and proper medical care, potentially resulting in permanent injury, diminished quality of life, or wrongful death. Families can pursue claims for medical bills, pain and suffering, and punitive damages.

Common Causes of Failure to Monitor in Atlanta Nursing Homes

Based on industry insights, key factors include:

• Understaffing: High resident-to-staff ratios prevent regular checks.
• Inadequate training: Staff may not recognize warning signs like confusion or mobility issues.
• Facility policies: Outdated or ignored protocols for monitoring high-risk residents.
• Corporate priorities: Profit-driven decisions leading to cut corners on care.

Our firm has seen these issues repeatedly in Atlanta cases and works to expose them through thorough investigations.
