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. If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in a nursing home in North Carolina, whether or not it is/was a Sunbridge nursing home, contact The Law Offices of Thomas Waitt Pleasant, PLLC for help. We provide free consultations in nursing home cases, and we can arrange to meet you where it is most convenient, including at your home, or in our Raleigh, Wilmington or Fayetteville North Carolina locations.
