Nursing Home Abuse Attorney In Phoenix
About Nursing Home Abuse
Nursing Homes are used by families all across the United States who can no longer take care of the needs of their loved ones who require special care or are elderly. When families choose a nursing home, their main concern is always how well their loved ones will be treated there. It is therefore a tragedy when someone discovers that their loved one has been mistreated or abused in some manner when the family's trust has been placed in that home. We all expect that our elderly will be treated with respect and dignity, and when that does not occur, a family must take the necessary steps to protect the rights of their loved one.
At times Nursing home abuse may not be immediately evident until it has reached a level where the health of the patient is at risk. Some forms and evidence of abuse can include:
- Malnutrition/starvation
- Dehydration
- Over drugging
- Poor hygiene
- Bed Sores
- Multiple falls
- Intentional assault
- Patients left unattended
- Wrongful death
If you have seen any evidence of this type of abuse when visiting a loved one, it is imperative that you contact a
