Access to Justice, powered by Sokolove Law.
The circumstances surrounding placing a loved one in a nursing home are sudden and often very emotional for families.
As a result, little advanced planning is done to prepare for this decision, leaving families scrambling for options.
Congressional reports revealed that over 30% of the 17,000 nursing homes nationwide were cited for abuse violations over just one two-year period.
The abuse may include neglect of basic needs, untreated malnutrition, or dehydration.
Other signs include unexplained bruises, bedsores, cuts, and broken bones.
An experienced nursing home abuse attorney may be able to assist you in determining whether or not your loved one is suffering nursing home abuse. And may be able to help you seek the financial compensation you and your family need and deserve.
