Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
The good news is that people in Tennessee are living longer lives. Unfortunately, nursing home neglect is an increasingly prevalent issue as a result. Understaffed and underfunded facilities often result in inadequate care for elder or disabled loved ones who are unable to live independently.
Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. At The Nahon Firm, PLC, our attorneys believe abuse through neglect is every bit as harmful as purposefully inflicted injuries. We use our collective knowledge and investigative skills to help you obtain justice.
Nursing home owners who focus solely on profits often fail to appropriately staff a facility or to adequately train, supervise, and monitor current employees. While owners do not suffer as a result of inferior standards, nursing home residents must cope with a poorer quality of life. Improper care over an extended period can result in serious illnesses or death.
The Nahon Firm, PLC represents senior citizens and accident victims injured as a result of poor nursing home conditions and negligent staff. Our attorneys are committed to holding caregivers and nursing home owners responsible for their actions. We fight so you and your loved ones may receive appropriate compensation.
Nursing home neglect is rarely limited to one specific incident. You should be on the watch for warning signs, such as:
- Bed sores
- Malnutrition
- Wandering
- Unexplained bruising
- Torn clothing
- Poor personal hygiene
- Untreated health problems
|
- Welts or open cuts
- Fecal or urine odors
- Dehydration
- Medication errors
- Caregiver’s refusal to allow visitors to see the resident alone
