Families trust these facilities to look after their loved ones properly, and the residents pay a lot of money for the care and assistance they need.

Forms of Nursing Home Abuse

Nursing home abuse presents itself in several ways. All can cause significant physical, mental, and emotional damage to vulnerable victims. Examples of different types of abuse that might occur at a nursing home are:

  • Neglect– Examples include not providing proper nutrition, failing to provide medication, unsanitary conditions, isolating residents, falls, bedsores known as pressure wounds or decubitus ulcers, and more.
  • Physical abuse– As hard as it is to believe, this can include punching, pushing, holding, or tying down, slapping, or other forms of battery.
  • Financial abuse– Employees of nursing homes sometimes steal or will trick residents into giving them money or valuable assets.
  • Emotional abuse– This includes the use of any words that emotionally harm a resident like threats and belittlement.
  • Sexual battery

Signs of Abuse in A Nursing Home

Always keep an eye on loved ones for any out of the ordinary changes in their behavior, as this could indicate a brain injury. Also, keep an eye out for any injuries, poor conditions, apparent fear, altered mood, unexplained weight loss, and any circumstances that raise suspicion. You should first discuss the situation with authorities, and then our lawyers.

What Our Clients Say

They truly care
Mrs Vallery, who answered the phone took more care and attention to detail than any other law office, that I have called, in 2 years+. She diligently took notes to give to the lawyers and cared about my situation and let me actually tell everything without cutting me short. Out of over 100 law offices, this is rare treatment. Care. Consideration. That means more than anything going through this…

From Self-Representation to Victory in SSDI Case!
My experience with Mario and his staff was outstanding. When everyone said to give up my case with SSDI and after being poorly represented and losing. I had to file my own appeals and represent myself. I literally called every attorney in the book. Then I called Mario cold – I expected one more no! Well, this gentleman took my case and won. He knows the law and cares a lot. I am proud to call him my friend. If you need a professional to help you, call these guys.

A Lifesaver in the Courtroom, Ensuring Freedom with A1 Professionalism
Needed a lifesaver. I had gotten myself into a bad situation and the possibility of going to prison. Through the diligence and hard work done by attorney Alley B., I was able to walk out of that courtroom a free man. No tricks just hard down attorney work. She was an A1 professional and knew every inch of the Law pertaining to my case. For that, I am forever grateful.
