Elder Abuse and Neglect

You placed your elderly loved one in a nursing home.

You were assured quality medical care, a pleasant, caring environment, and individualized attention—but each time you visit—you are taken aback by what you see.

Nursing home residents are being left alone for prolonged periods, the staff seems indifferent or incompetent, and the living conditions are unsanitary. Your loved one looks dirty and disheveled. He or she seems sad or frustrated. Perhaps there has been unexplained injuries, infections, or wounds.

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Common indicators of abuse or neglect:

Pennsylvania, New Jersey, California, and Federal legislators have recognized that nursing home residents are all too often given substandard treatment because they are feeble, old, or poor. Accordingly, tough laws have been enacted and extensive regulations have been drafted on both the state and federal level to ensure that every nursing home resident is entitled to certain basic rights.

These laws not only declare that nursing home residents have certain rights; they also list a number of responsibilities that nursing homes have with regard to the care of residents. These responsibilities include a nursing home resident's right to receive "the necessary care and services to attain and maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being, in accordance with the comprehensive assessment and plan of care."

Pennsylvania, New Jersey, California, and the Federal lawmakers have established clear standards of care to prevent nursing home abuse and neglect. The Nursing Home Attorneys are fully familiar with all current Pennsylvania, New Jersey, California, and Federal laws and regulations governing nursing homes. Our attorneys will utilize these laws and regulations to their full effect to ensure your elderly loved one is properly represented.
