Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities: A Duty to Provide Care
Nursing homes throughout the state of Kansas promise to take care of the elderly and vulnerable adults they shelter. But we all know that care means more than just putting a roof over a person’s head. Kansas nursing home laws reflect that fact and specifically addresses what kind of care patients and residents need to receive, how much nursing care they should receive daily, and much more. In exchange for taking on this “duty to provide care,” the U.S. nursing home industry takes money from families, individuals, the federal Medicare and Medicaid programs, and others to the tune of billions and billions of dollars in profit each year.
Meanwhile, thousands of the people they’ve promised to protect and care for are abused, seriously injured or die unexpectedly under their watch every year.
That’s not care – that’s nursing home abuse and neglect – and its against the law.
