Something's Not Right
You placed your elderly loved one in a nursing home.
You were assured quality medical care, a pleasant, caring environment, and individualized attention—but when you visit—you are left with a different impression.
The facility is unclean. Many of the nursing home residents are sitting alone and appear ignored or unattended to. The nursing staff is hard to find. Staff members seem indifferent or incompetent. Your loved is dirty and disheveled. His or her bed sheets are at times wet or soiled. Food is often left untouched and out of reach. Your loved one seems sad or frustrated. Perhaps there have been unexplained injuries, infections, or wounds.
You try to convince yourself that your elderly loved one is going to be fine. You want to trust that the nursing home is providing proper care but your instincts and common sense tell you otherwise. You need answers.

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
Common indicators of abuse or neglect:
California, New Jersey 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."
California, New Jersey and the Federal lawmakers have established clear standards of care to prevent nursing home abuse and neglect. Our nursing home attorneys are fully familiar with all current California, New Jersey 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.
