Is it reasonable for nursing homes to take responsibility for the death of the elderly due to illness in nursing homes?

Recently, a nursing home was brought to court because the elderly in the nursing home died of serious illness, but the family members were very angry and thought that the nursing home was irresponsible, resulting in the death of the elderly. Later, after two trials, the nursing home still had to bear 5% responsibility, which attracted everyone's attention.

Now everyone's question is, does the nursing home have certain responsibilities when the old man dies of illness? If so, nursing homes need to reconsider the nursing methods for the elderly! Actually, I think this case is just an example. It doesn't mean that the old man's illness and death must be the responsibility of the nursing home.

We can analyze this case. When the old man moved into the nursing home, his family had a contract with the nursing home. At this point, the nursing home is actually not too risky, but after a while, the old man has a stomachache. At this time, the nursing home did not choose to send the elderly directly to the hospital, but stayed for observation.

However, the condition of the old man became more and more serious, and the children of the old man decided to send him to the hospital. After arriving at the hospital, the old man's life was dying and the hospital rescued him urgently. However, because the illness has been delayed, the old man finally failed to get treatment and eventually passed away, which led to tragedy.

In this case, in fact, both nursing homes and their families are responsible. On the one hand, when the elderly feel uncomfortable, the nursing home should send the elderly to the hospital at the first time, but the nursing home chose to call the elderly children. In this case, in fact, the illness of the elderly was delayed, so the responsibility of the nursing home appeared.

Of course, children's responsibilities are not small. After they came to the nursing home, they were not sent to the hospital in time, which eventually led to the death of the elderly. Therefore, it is normal for the nursing home to be responsible for this case. If the nursing home sent the elderly directly to the hospital at that time, then the nursing home naturally had no responsibility.

Therefore, if the old man dies in a nursing home, as long as the nursing home is reasonable and legal, completes the work seriously and takes good care of the old man, then the nursing home is naturally irresponsible. If there is a mistake, then there must be responsibility!
