Can nursing home staff members be held personally liable for elder abuse and neglect in Michigan?

Yes, nursing home staff members can be held personally liable for elder abuse and neglect in Michigan if they engage in negligent or intentional misconduct that results in harm to a resident. Nursing home staff have a duty of care to provide residents with a safe and supportive environment, and they can be held accountable for breaching this duty through actions such as physical abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation.

In addition to civil liability, staff members who commit elder abuse or neglect may also face criminal charges and penalties under Michigan law. It's essential to report any instances of staff misconduct to the appropriate authorities and seek legal advice to pursue justice for your loved one.
