Rendings

Today, nursing homes are confronted with unprecedented regulatory scrutiny from state and federal agencies. This increased oversight has not only led to greater administrative penalties and remedies, but has also triggered more civil liability exposure for the facilities.

Known as one of the leading litigation firms in Ohio and Kentucky, Rendigs represents skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, rehabilitation centers, hospices, and continuing care retirement communities. Rendigs is known nationally as one of the leading nursing home defense firms in Ohio, and team members have written and spoken extensively on issues related to the nursing home industry.

We vigorously defend our clients during pre-trial, trial, and post-trial proceedings, as well as arbitration. We understand the delicate balance between a resident's rights and our client's right to the fair representation of its facility and practices.

We defend claims involving:

• Negligence, abuse, or neglect
• Malnutrition or dehydration
• Deprivation of rights
• Improper use of restraints
• Deterioration of a chronic condition
• Ulcers and other skin conditions
• Elopement
• Entrapment in beds
• Falls, fractures and other injuries
• Inadequate supervision or staffing
• Intentional misconduct
• Substandard care, medication errors, or medical malpractice
• Wrongful death

Our attorneys also apply their deep knowledge in healthcare to counsel clients in survey and enforcement, licensure and certification, reimbursement, fraud and abuse, and patient care issues. We provide guidance on innovative risk management strategies involving negotiated risk agreements, best employment practices, and sound documentation procedures.
