Nursing Home Lawyers
If you suspect that a loved one has suffered from abuse or neglect in a nursing
home, our attorneys can provide a free evaluation to determine if you
have a potential claim.
There are nearly 17,000 nursing homes in the United States that currently
care for 1.6 million residents. Some studies estimate that between 3 and 5 percent
of the elderly population have been abused. Major underlying causes of
elder mistreatment, according to findings of the National Academy of Sciences
Panel to Review Risk and Prevalence of Elder Abuse and Neglect, are:
stressful working conditions, particularly staff shortages
staff burnout
inadequate staff training
Nursing home neglect, also referred to as elder abuse, can come in many forms,
including physical, sexual and emotional abuse. Physical abuse can be caused by
hitting, unreasonable restraints, inappropriate medication and many other types of
abusive contact.
