We care deeply about holding nursing homes accountable. As a law firm, we are dedicated to helping indviduals and families in cases of nursing home negligence. We will fight for you and your family to receive proper care:
Over 1.5 million elderly adults now live in nursing homes throughout the United States. Even as many loved ones have moved into skilled care facilities, the incidence of nursing home abuse and neglect has increased.
The following are signs of nursing home abuse and neglect: (1) physical assault of residents, (2) sexual assault of residents, (3) bed sores, (4) pressure ulcers, (5) elopement, (6) infection, (7) physical restraint, (8) falls, (9) medication errors, (10) dehydration or malnutrition, (11) contractures.
Often, insufficient staffing - and the pursuit of profits at some facilities - allow nursing home residents to be mistreated. According to a recent federal study, over 91% of nursing homes have insufficient nurse aid staffing levels to provide necessary care. Nearly half of all nursing homes would have to increase staffing by 50% to meet minimum requirements.
