Kansas City, MO personal injury attorney Kevin Chaffee talks about who can be sued for nursing home abuse. In cases of nursing home abuse, a variety of parties may be subject to legal action. The primary defendant is usually the individual nursing home or facility where the resident lives. Within that facility, key individuals may include the administrator, who acts as the CEO of the nursing home, and the director of nursing, responsible for overseeing all nursing services.

Moreover, there are often additional entities outside of the nursing facility, such as management companies or consulting firms, that can significantly influence the financial and managerial decisions affecting the quality of care residents receive.
