Pursuing Compensation For Injuries Suffered By Wandering Nursing Home Residents

If a family member living in a care facility for people with Alzheimer’s or dementia wandered off and was injured, you have good reason to consult with an Ohio nursing home lawyer.

  • Your loved one may have been required to wear a wrist or ankle bracelet, but the day of his or her disappearance from the home, a caregiver had failed to put it on.
  • The wrist or ankle bracelet — or the alarm system it was connected to — may have malfunctioned the day of the wandering-off episode.
  • Your loved one may not have been classified as a resident with dementia, but should have been.
  • The staff may have had clear indications that he or she should be more closely monitored, but failed to take action.

Even if your family member did not need to be protected from going out alone, but did so and got hurt, you may have reason to bring a negligence claim against the nursing home.

Evidence may reveal that some type of psychological abuse occurred in the facility, triggering the wandering incident. A gate may have been erroneously left open or security personnel may have been inattentive.

A detailed investigation can uncover the truth about how and why your loved one wandered off.
