Has Your Loved One Suffered Due to Nursing Home Neglect?
Nursing home neglect is often the result of understaffing and inadequately trained employees. When nursing homes cut corners on staff and training, there are simply too few qualified staff members on hand to provide adequate care. This exposes residents to a wide range of dangers, including:
- Bedsores
- Malnutrition/dehydration
- Restraint injuries
- Nursing home falls
- Wandering off/elopement
- Medication errors
- Infections
- Poor hygiene
In defending nursing home negligence claims, nursing homes often argue that the victim was old and in poor health to begin with, as if that somehow excuses the negligence. Our attorneys understand that every nursing home resident deserves adequate care regardless of their age or health. We fight for the rights of individual abused elders, to protect their rights and to spare others from these same harmful practices.
