Nursing Home Negligence
As your parents age, you are often confronted with the need to seek long-term care for one or both of them in a facility outside the home. Although this decision is sometimes difficult, you can play an active role in your parents’ quality of life by carefully selecting the best facility for his/her needs. To make an educated assessment for a loved one about which facility to choose, we recommend you tour the facilities at odd times, such as during dinner, nights and off-hours on weekends, taking note of odors at the facility, how the patients are dressed, how well they are groomed, staff responsiveness, patients’ rooms, activity rooms, kitchen facilities, bathing areas, hand rails, activity levels, any restrained patients, etc. Make sure you talk to the residents and any visitors, learn about the availability of medical staff and ask to see the licensing documents. Once your loved one is a resident of your chosen facility and if, despite your best efforts, your loved one is neglected, abused or otherwise injured in such a facility, you must take a strong stand and immediately seek legal advice. Our law firm is dedicated to client advocacy and is prepared to take on the legal challenges necessary to fight nursing home problems.
