Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect

It is an unfortunate reality that our elderly are subjected to abuse and neglect. It is particularly distressing to discover that your loved one has been subjected to abusive and negligent treatment by staff at nursing homes entrusted to care for and nurture the elderly. Nursing homes have a responsibility to provide a reasonable standard of care for their residents. Too often nursing homes are under-staffed, staff are improperly trained, improperly supervised, negligent in their duties and simply do not provide adequate care to their residents. When the right of residents of nursing homes to be treated with dignity and respect is violated and the elderly become victims of physical, psychological, or emotional abuse and neglect, they may be entitled to sue.

The elderly do not recover well from even a simple fall permitted to occur due to lack of assistance and lack of supervision. Complications associated with falls, including hip fractures and head injuries, are amongst the leading causes of death in the elderly population. Nursing homes’ responsibility to provide a reasonable standard of care for their residents includes having procedures in place for resident safety and active reduction of the risk of falls and related injuries.
