Nursing Home Abuse
Preserving the legal rights of the elderly is one of our most passionate areas of practice. A nursing home is intended to be a place where your parent or your grandparent gets the specialized medical care and personal attention that he/she needs. Unfortunately, some nursing home facilities don't turn out to be what families intend; instances of nursing home negligence and/or abuse are on the rise. Examples of nursing home abuse/neglect include: allowing pressure sores to develop, failing to provide proper hygienic care, applying physical restraints unnecessarily, overmedicating patients, and physically or sexually abusing patients. If you suspect that you or a relative has been the victim of nursing home abuse, it is important that you seek help.
