ABUSE & NEGLIGENCE TOWARD ELDERLY PEOPLE

Have you recently placed your beloved, elderly family member in a local nursing home facility? If so, we know that you expect a high level of care and treatment for your family member who is most likely in a fragile state. While it may have been upsetting to resort to a nursing home facility, you are doing what is best for your family member by giving them the care that they truly need.

Unfortunately, not all nursing home facilities provide the five-star hospitality that they should for these elderly residents. In fact, many instances of nursing home abuse and negligence happen every single year. There are many different types of nursing home abuse, none of which can afford to be overlooked or to go unaddressed. Therefore, we encourage you to involve an attorney from our firm in the matter as early as possible.
