Glendale Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer

Has your loved one suffered nursing home abuse?

Nursing homes have a legal and ethical obligation to ensure that all residents are provided with adequate care and treatment, and that their needs aren’t ignored or overlooked. The unfortunate reality is that many nursing home residents continue to suffer from abuse, neglect, and mistreatment. What’s even more disturbing is that these acts of nursing home abuse and neglect are committed by the very people entrusted to care for the residents.

If you believe your loved one is suffering from nursing home abuse or neglect, it’s imperative that you seek legal counsel right away. Sadly, many victims of nursing home abuse or neglect will never speak up about their mistreatment out of fear the abuse will get worse. By contacting an experienced personal injury attorney at Pacific Attorney Group, we can help you take the necessary measures to determine if your loved one is indeed a victim of abuse or neglect, and assist you in filing a claim against the nursing home and the individual caretakers responsible for your loved one’s injuries or condition.

Types of Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse

Nursing home abuse is widely thought of as being physical in nature. However, although a great deal of nursing home abuse is physical, nursing home abuse also refers to psychological abuse and financial abuse. Examples of psychological abuse include threatening a resident, belittling a resident, tormenting or teasing a resident, harassing or yelling at a resident, etc. Examples of financial abuse include stealing money or bank account information from a resident, or coercing or manipulating a resident to change his/her will, trust or estate plan.

At Pacific Attorney Group, we also represent victims of nursing home neglect. There are many different types of nursing home neglect, such as failure to provide residents with adequate food and water, failure to wash or bathe a resident, failure to change a resident’s bed sheets, failure to change a resident’s undergarments, failure to give a resident his or her medication, failure to dress a resident’s sores or infections, etc.
