Nursing Home Abuse

As more and more elderly and disabled enter nursing home every year many are subject to nursing home abuse and neglect.  Sadly, it is estimated that over 35,000 residents die prematurely due to such abuse and neglect.  To make matters even worse we are all, through our tax dollars funneled through medicare and medicaid, paying for care that is not being properly provided to our elderly and often helpless citizens.

Fortunately, many nursing homes are being held accountable for abusing and neglecting their patients.  It is important to recognize the signs of abuse and neglect.  These may include bedsores that remain untreated, open wounds, cuts, bruises, dehydration, malnutrition, burns, falls, medication errors, and over sedation.  If you feel a family member or friend has been the victim of nursing home abuse or neglect, please give us a call.

At Boren Oliver & Coffey, we will work with you to protect your rights and seek compensation for your losses from those responsible.  Feel free to call or schedule an appointment.  There is never a charge for consultation, there is no fee unless there is a recovery.
