Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect
Sunbridge Nursing Home Lawsuits
By North Carolina nursing home abuse, nursing home injury, and nursing home wrongful death attorney Thomas W. Pleasant. Sun Healthcare et al. have had their share of problems with their Sunbridge nursing homes, facing serious legal problems with at least one state's regulators (see http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m4149/is_3_43/ai_n25467729/pg_7 ). Sunbridge facilities are relatively plentiful in North Carolina, and it is not surprising that cases against Sunbridge are coming up. A case filed not too long ago against a Sunbridge facility and its parent companies in a nearby state demonstrates the kinds of allegations coming up with what seems to be relative frequency: multiple falls, weight loss, malnutrition, dehydration, and infections. See http://legalmedicine.blogspot.com/2008/09/west-virginia-nursing-home-faces.html ). Infections in nursing home cases often result from pressure sores (aka pressure ulers, decubitus ulcers); which are, in turn, often exacerbated by malnutrition and dehydration. The bottom line in these nursing home cases involving pressure sores is that the appropriate level of staffing (nurses, nursing assistants) is simply not there. With a large company like Sun Healthcare Group, Inc., which owns/operates/controls all the Sunbridge nursing facilities, this is hard to understand. Sunbridge nursing homes seem to be making plenty of money.
