Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Abuse and neglect of the elderly and vulnerable is a major problem in the United States. Often victims are unable to report what has happened because of their mental state, because they are too weak, or because they fear retaliation. Nursing home and rehabilitation facilities have a duty to provide quality care to their patients. Examples of nursing home abuse and neglect include:

  • Physical abuse
  • Rape or sexual assault
  • Bed sores
  • Improper restraints
  • Over-medication
  • Inadequate food and liquids
  • Failure to change bandages, bedding, and undergarments
  • Failure to prevent falls

See examples of our nursing home abuse and neglect cases.

““I am so grateful to Maria for the superior work she did representing my husband and me in our medical malpractice case. Not only was she extremely competent as our attorney, she amazed us with her ability to keep a cool head during intense depositions by opposing counsel. Maria’s excellent negotiation skills enabled us to settle our case before going to trial. And her knowledge and skills made a difficult and emotional process much easier to handle. Maria was supportive every step of the way, and for that we are truly grateful. We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her to family and friends.” Karen and George Sickel
