Nursing Home Negligence

Let Our Nursing Home Negligence Lawyers Help Your Loved One Who Has Been Abused at a Nursing Home or Long-Term Facility

Placing a loved one in a nursing home is one of the most difficult decisions that an individual will make. Despite making every effort to ensure the safety, care, and comfort of your family members or loved ones, nursing home negligence may still occur.

Examples include physical, emotional or sexual abuse; unnecessary restraint; overmedication; withholding of food, water, or medication; failure to assist with personal hygiene; and failure to obtain proper and timely medical care. Unfortunately, victims of nursing home abuse, mistreatment, and neglect are often the most vulnerable individuals because of physical and mental disorders, and the inability to communicate what is transpiring in their environment.

Be on the lookout for some of the following signs of abuse, mistreatment and neglect: inability of nursing home staff to explain a resident’s condition, unexplained injuries, open wounds, and nonverbal signs that something is wrong (emotionally upset, extremely withdrawn, unusual behavior, insulting or threatening behavior toward others).
