Bailey and Benfield, Attorneys at Law


nursing home negligence

Nursing homes provide medical care, much like a hospital. The care must meet strict standards. Unfortunately, care in nursing homes sometimes can be substandard. The following are a few of the many signs of nursing home abuse and neglect:

  • Pressure sores
  • Malnutrition
  • Dehydration
  • Injury due to falls
  • Verbal abuse
  • Physical abuse
  • Sexual Abuse
  • Infections
  • Injuries due to wandering
  • Failure to care for residents’ basic needs, such as bathing or feeding residents

Unlike nursing homes, assisted living facilities provide only some assistance to seniors who are not fully independent. Residents of assisted living centers can be victims of abuse and can be taken advantage of emotionally and financially. Facilities also may fail to provide basic services for which they were contracted.

Bailey & Benfield fights for the rights of senior citizens in nursing homes and assisted living centers. If you or a loved one has been abused or neglected, contact Bailey & Benfield for a free case evaluation.
