Nursing Home Abuse Practice Areas

Physical Abuse

When nursing home staff physically abuse their residents, it’s an obvious breach of proper conduct and should never be tolerated. If you suspect your loved one is being hit, treated roughly, or otherwise physically abused, contact our firm.

Psychological Abuse

Psychological abuse in nursing homes can go unnoticed, as there sometimes aren’t clear signs it is occurring. If your loved one has experienced stark behavioral changes since moving into a nursing home, it may be a sign of abuse.

Neglect

Nursing home neglect can include staff members failing to deliver medications on time, failing to help with washing, and not keeping your loved one’s quarters clean. These are unacceptable breaches of the services your loved one should be receiving.

Bedsores

Bedsores, or pressure ulcers, happen when a bedridden person is not moved every few hours. They are completely preventable and will almost never arise if a person is receiving adequate care. If your loved one has developed bed sores, their caretakers have failed.

Theft

Caretakers have access to residents’ valuables, and additionally are able to gain a lot of their trust. Sometimes, this trust is exploited, and caretakers deceive residents into inappropriately giving them gifts, funds, or other financial benefits.

Falls

When a nursing home resident sustains an injury in a preventable fall, the nursing home could be at fault. If your loved one was hurt as a result of a fall in a nursing home, our attorneys understand how to hold the responsible party accountable.

Dehydration/Malnutrition

When you entrust a loved one into a nursing home’s care, you expect that they will receive all the nutrition and hydration they need. It’s a basic component of the arrangement. Nursing homes that fail in this fundamental way must be held accountable.
