Have You or Someone You Love Been The Victim of Nursing Home Abuse or Neglect?

Nursing home neglect and abuse is another category of personal injury, and sometimes, unfortunately, wrongful death law. Increasingly the headlines warn us of cases involving the neglect and abuse being visited upon our elderly and abuse in nursing homes. The elderly are especially vulnerable, and neglect of their basic needs can lead, very quickly, to an untimely death.

Nursing homes have been charged with a special duty of care for the elderly who reside in these homes. Unfortunately, due to rising costs related to the care and provision of the nursing home residents, some nursing homes have tried to cut costs by cutting corners by cutting back on adequate staff, nutritious food, and even the medications needed by the elderly, nursing home residents. This leads to signs and symptoms of neglect:

• Bed Sores
• Ulcers
• Poor Hygiene
• Malnutrition
• Dehydration
• Bruises
• Falls
• Unnecessary & Excessive Use of Restraints
• Depression & Anxiety

If you or someone you know who are residing a nursing home, or care facility demonstrates any of these signs and symptoms, contact the nursing home neglect and abuse law firm of William B. Hanley, Attorney at Law for assistance.

Embezzlement, Fraud and Misappropriation of Funds

Many elderly, nursing home residents have saved for a lifetime to provide for their old-age and retirement. However, there have been instances whereby caregivers gain access to the dwindling funds of the elderly residents in their care. In other cases, nursing homes have billed for items never received, or services never rendered on behalf of the elderly, nursing home residents. In other cases, funds belonging to the elderly have been appropriated for uses never sanctioned.

Clearly, some of these actions are criminal in nature, as is any neglect or abuse of a vulnerable adult. However, there may be avenues available for civil actions to recover, based on the personal injuries and losses suffered as the result of the neglect and abuse by their nursing home caregivers. contact the nursing home neglect and abuse law firm of William B. Hanley, Attorney at Law, located in Newport Beach, California for immediate assistance.
