Nursing Home negligence
Watching our grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles grow older has its own set of stresses. As
those we love fall victim to the ailments of aging, we worry about our lives without them, all the
while learning to provide care for them. We look to medicines, doctors, diets, vitamins—anything
we can find—in hopes of keeping them healthy and happy and able to live as independently as
they wish to. When finally the complications get too great, we turn to an assisted living, nursing
home, or other long-term care facility to continue the thoughtful and conscientious care we are no
longer able to provide.

Many of these facilities provide excellent care, however, far too many do not. Often understaffed
with underpaid and poorly trained employees, many nursing homes push the bottom line so far
that they endanger the lives of their patients.

Neglected, abused, and threatened, nursing home residents may suffer physically and emotionally.
Painful bedsores, broken bones, or even premature death can result from neglectful and outright
abusive treatment.

All nursing homes and long-term care facilities that receive federal funds must comply with certain
federal regulations and laws. These regulations and laws set out in detail the type and quality of
care that residents in these facilities must receive. Are your family members receiving the
appropriate standard of care?

If you believe that your love one is not, contact us, we can help!

The National Center for Elder Abuse reports that neglect of our senior citizens' basic needs is the
number one type of elder abuse.  Physical abuse by caregivers ranks as the second most common
form of elder mistreatment.  Almost one million senior citizens are victimized each year.

When abuse or neglect occurs in nursing homes and other assisted living facilities, it is often
referred to as "institutional abuse."  Institutional abuse can include physical, emotional, and
unbelievably sexual abuse.
