Nursing Home Neglect
When your elderly loved one became unable to care for himself or herself, you decided that a nursing home was the only way to provide the long-term care they needed. It was an agonizing decision, but you made the right choice. Now you discover that they are not receiving the care you expect and they deserve. No one should have to suffer through nursing home neglect or abuse, but it happens to many elderly or severely disabled patients. As the population ages, more and more cases of nursing home neglect or abuse are discovered. If not handled immediately, nursing home neglect can escalate and seriously affect the health of your loved one.
At our Beaumont law firm, David W. Starnes will pursue compensation from the nursing home facility and their insurance carrier. We have handled these cases and have experience with the medical issues that often occur in cases of nursing-home neglect or abuse:
These are all issues relating to the nursing facility's policies and procedures and how they are carried out. Our firm has access to healthcare professionals that understand the needs of the elderly and know how nursing staff provide and document care. We will help you stop the neglect and obtain the medical treatment necessary to correct the situation.
If you have an elderly parent, grandparent, or loved one who is in a nursing home, be on the look-out for any signs that their care is lacking, such as unexplained bruises, broken bones and bed sores. Many times nursing home patients cannot defend themselves against neglect or abuse and they need you to take action for them. If you suspect your loved one is in a facility where care is inadequate, contact us right away. We want to help.
