Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

An increasing number of our population ends up in a nursing home, elder care setting or extended stay facility. Poorly trained, unqualified and inadequate staffing can lead to:

  • Isolation and neglect;
  • Bed sores or decubitus ulcers;
  • Falls from beds and wheelchairs;
  • Physical or sexual abuse;
  • Medication errors;
  • Failing to provide medical treatment.

Historically, victims of nursing home abuse and neglect have often remained silent. In New York State, there is a special part of the Public Health Law that allows a lawsuit for injuries and death for patients in nursing homes and rehabilitation centers. The injuries sustained by these victims should be compensated and consulting with an attorney, as soon as possible, will protect your rights.
