Nursing Home Expert Witness FAQs

Common questions about Reliable Clinical Experts nursing home expert witness services.

How do pressure ulcers develop in nursing homes?

Reliable Clinical Experts nursing home experts testify that pressure ulcers develop when immobile residents are not repositioned every 2 hours, causing prolonged pressure that cuts off blood flow to skin and tissue. Proper care requires repositioning protocols, adequate nutrition, proper hygiene, and specialized pressure-reducing surfaces. Deep Stage III/IV pressure ulcers nearly always indicate substandard care constituting negligence.

What staffing levels are required in nursing homes?

Reliable Clinical Experts long-term care experts testify that federal regulations require sufficient staffing to meet residents' needs, though specific ratios vary by state. Our experts evaluate whether staffing was adequate based on resident acuity, number of falls, medication errors, and quality indicators. Understaffing is the primary factor in nursing home negligence cases — inadequate staff cannot reposition residents, answer call lights, or provide feeding assistance.
