Daniel Island Nursing Home Abuse & Negligence Lawyer
According to the Medicare website, 18 nursing home facilities are currently operating within a 25-mile radius of Daniel Island in Charleston and surrounding communities including Mount Pleasant, Johns Island, Summerville, and Moncks Corner. Medicare evaluates each facility according to a five-star rating system based on health inspections, staffing ratios, and quality of clinical care. Only one of these nursing homes currently holds a five-star rating, while five hold a one-star rating and one is only given two stars. Two of the facilities aren’t rated at all, one because it has only been newly certified and the other due to a history of serious quality issues that render it incapable of receiving even one star.

What Is Nursing Home Negligence?
Nursing home neglect and abuse are serious issues that can have devastating consequences for elderly residents. These vulnerable individuals rely on nursing homes to provide a safe and nurturing environment in addition to quality medical treatment and healthcare, but unfortunately, some facilities fail to meet the necessary standards of care. Neglect and abuse can take various forms, including:
- Medical Neglect: Failure to provide adequate medical attention, medication management, or timely access to healthcare professionals.
- Emotional Abuse: Inflicting emotional pain, humiliation, or distress through intimidation, belittlement, or isolation.
- Physical Abuse: Causing physical harm through acts of violence, improper use of restraints, or excessive force.
- Financial Exploitation: Illegally or improperly using an elderly person’s funds, assets, or property for personal gain.
- Negligent Supervision: Inadequate monitoring and supervision, leading to accidents, falls, or injuries.
- Inadequate Staffing: Insufficient staffing levels, resulting in neglect, inadequate care, or delays in response to emergencies.
