Michigan Nursing Home Neglect Lawyer Discusses Lowest Ranked Michigan Nursing Homes
Our Michigan nursing home abuse lawyers represent nursing home residents and their families in abuse and neglect cases. These lawsuits arise from a number of different types of neglect and abuse, including bedsores, fall injuries, medication errors, choking injuries, dehydration, and wandering claims. In cases involving death, we file a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of the family. The U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a report ranking nursing homes throughout the United States. These rankings were completed in June 2011 and were based upon three years of health violations and site visits. The lowest ranking nursing homes in Michigan are as follows:
Borgess Gardens, Kalamazoo, 425
Manor of Battle Creek Skilled Nursing and Rehab, Battle Creek, 424
St. James Nursing Center, Detroit, 423
Samaritan Manor, Detroit, 422
Brittany Manor, Midland, 421
Tendercare of Westwood, Kalamazoo, 420
Tendercare, Portage, 419
Omni Continuing Care, Detroit, 418
Whitehall Healthcare Center of Ann Arbor, Ann Arbor, 417
Howell Care Center, Howell, 416
Legal Rights If Neglected or Abused in a Michigan Nursing Home
If you or a loved one suffered injuries due to nursing home neglect or nursing home abuse at a Michigan nursing home, you do have the legal right to file a civil lawsuit against the facility. In this type of lawsuit, the injured resident and the family of the resident can seek compensation for the injuries and medical care and treatment related to the injury. If the patient dies due to neglect, the family can seek damages under the Michigan Wrongful Death Act.
