Elder Neglect
California Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Attorneys
Placing a loved one in a nursing home or other long-term care facility is a difficult decision. When a family makes that decision, they place their trust in the nursing home. Most of us assume that nursing homes are operated by individuals who care about the health and well being of the elderly. When that trust has been violated, and a vulnerable or elderly person is neglected or abused, the consequences can be serious, and may result in permanent injury or wrongful death. When that happens, the nursing home lawyers at the Law Offices of Gregory L. Johnson are prepared to help.
Signs of Possible Elder Neglect
Not all types of elder abuse are physical and not all abuse results in visible injuries. The types of abuse and neglect that have been reported in nursing homes range from moderate to severe and include:
- Dehydration and/or Malnutrition
- Bedsores (also known as pressure sores or decubitus ulcers)
- Poor personal hygiene
- Unattended or untreated health problems
- Delay in providing medical care
- Medication errors
- Unexplained fractures
- Unexplained weight loss
- Psychological and emotional abuse
- An elder's report of being mistreated
If your loved one has been injured through abuse, neglect or mistreatment at a California nursing home, please contact our law firm to discuss your rights and options.
Nursing Home Neglect
All too often, nursing homes place their drive for profits above the needs and rights of residents. California State and Federal law provides "Residents' Rights," which are typically those rights or guarantees given to nursing home residents. Most cases against nursing homes stem from the facility's failure to provide appropriate health care and protective and supportive services. These violations often result in serious physical injury and can contribute to an undignified existence for the elderly resident. In some cases, the resident may actually suffer no physical injury at all, but because of the violations, the resident is deprived of general well-being and his or her right to a dignified existence while residing in the nursing home.
