Get Help When You Suspect Nursing Home Abuse

If you believe that a loved one has suffered nursing home abuse, you need to contact a Phoenix personal injury lawyer to learn more about your legal options. This can prompt a state investigation into the facility to determine whether poor care of abuse has occurred there.

Recently a case in Missouri found its way into the news. A death at the Normandy Nursing Center came under state scrutiny when reports of alleged neglect surfaced. Now the state's Protection and Advocacy Services are investigating the facility's treatment of a 37-year-old patient who was brought to the emergency room suffering from renal failure, respiratory failure, dehydration and malnutrition.

To make matters worse, a court-appointed guardian almost had the victim's ventilator turned off without the family's consent. Luckily a doctor stepped in to honor the family's request to have it kept on.
