Nursing Home Neglect & Abuse

Once we have decided to place our loved one in the care of another, we investigate nursing homes and assisted living facilities to ensure they are safe and medically sound. For this reason, we feel dishonored when abuse or neglect occurs.

​

Nursing home abuse and neglect cases are generally medical malpractice claims based on the following types of problems:

​

• Failure to diagnose or treat a condition;

• Failure to provide medical attention or proper care;

• Failure to administer medications properly;

• Malnutrition;

• Dehydration;

• Pressure sores;

• Wandering and abandonment;

• Verbal or physical abuse; and

• Falls.

 

Patients in nursing and assisted living facilities are among the most vulnerable in our society, yet these facilities are known for implementing cost-cutting measures that sacrifice patient care. With specialized training in handing these cases, Sandler Law Group knows what to investigate, what evidence to locate, and how to prosecute these difficult cases.
