Nursing Home Abuse

The elderly rely on nursing homes and assisted living to provide care that they can no longer provide for themselves. Nursing homes are obligated to provide a safe and secure environment for all of their residents. Their care includes providing activities of daily living such as dressing, bathing, toileting, personal hygiene, eating, providing water, and assistance in moving, like getting in and out of bed or transferring to a chair. When a nursing home fails to provide adequate care, its neglect can become abusive, resulting in injury, falls, bed sores, dehydration, malnutrition, disease and other harm.

Nursing home abuse and negligence have become a growing problem in our country. Our personal injury attorneys have handled these types of cases with passion and conviction. Holding nursing homes accountable for their quality of care helps to expose negligence or abuse which results in safer conditions for the elderly. It also allows us to recover compensation for families who have been adversely affected.

While it may sometimes be difficult to detect nursing home abuse or negligence, there are signs that indicate its occurrence. If you have good reason to believe your loved one has been subjected to negligence or abuse, we can discuss your situation with you. If we uncover grounds for a lawsuit, we will take the proper legal action on your behalf.
