People would be surprised how many times a family member's intuition saved the life of a loved one inside a nursing facility or assisted living facility. At Walton Law Firm, our San Diego nursing home abuse attorneys have had several cases where the family insisted that the their mom/dad/brother/sister be sent to the hospital, only to be denied by the nursing home staff, who insists that the patient is just fine. In fact, there have been cases where the family actually called 911 for an ambulance to come to the nursing home for hospital transport. And guess what? In most of those cases the emergency room doctors tell the family that the patient arrived just in time. Their intuition was right, something was wrong, and had the person been left in the nursing home there most certainly would have been a decline, and very possibly a death.
