What Nursing Home Lawsuits Reveal About Staffing & Documentation

In this episode of Senior Living Executive Strategy, Melissa Brown welcomes Rob Schenk of Schenk Nursing Home Abuse Law for a candid conversation about what senior living and skilled nursing leaders need to understand about legal risk. Rob shares the perspective of a plaintiff’s attorney who works on nursing home cases, including what attorneys look for when evaluating potential claims, why staffing data has become more important, and how documentation gaps can create serious risk for providers. The conversation also covers how PBJ data, acuity, AI-generated documentation, ignored alerts, private equity ownership, and administrator decision-making can all play a role in nursing home liability. For operators, owners, administrators, DONs, and senior living executives, this episode is a valuable look at the legal blind spots that can develop inside a building, especially when staffing, documentation, and care delivery are not aligned.
