Nursing Home Negligence & Elder Care Abuse

Due to the multi-billion dollar business the nursing home industry has become, elder abuse is a more serious problem than ever. In some facilities owned by major corporations, making a profit has taken precedent over providing proper care for nursing home residents. In fact, some reports found that thirty percent of nursing homes are cited for abuse. Federal and state governments have responded to this statistic with legislation protecting nursing home residents.

Some instances of nursing home negligence or abuse yield serious results: falls that cause broken bones, malnutrition and dehydration, injury caused by residents able to wander off their nursing homes’ properties, and even death.

If you have witnessed the harmful and sometimes devastating effects of nursing home negligence or elder care abuse on a loved one, you may be able to file for compensation. Murphy & Associates is experienced and prepared to help you receive maximum compensation.

  • Warning Signs of Nursing Home Negligence and Elder Abuse   
    Description: The elderly are often very fragile and prone to illness and injury, and they require very special attention and care. When a person becomes a nursing home resident, the nursing home at which they live becomes legally responsible for taking care of that person. Despite the millions of dollars given to nursing homes to ensure proper care, unacceptable numbers of older Americans are neglected or abused in their nursing home environments. Since many of these residents are fearful or hesitant to report the problems they face, it is important to recognize the signs of elder care abuse.
