Pharmacy Malpractice Lawyer
Nursing home abuse is tragically one of the most common types of abuse in America today. The 1.5 million people who rely on nursing homes to assist them in the simple daily tasks of living need to be able to trust that they will not be taken advantage of, nor will they suffer abuse at the hands of those charged with their care.
Unfortunately the reality is that far too many residents of nursing homes are starved, beaten, neglected, isolated, or restrained because of the cruelty or oversight of nursing homes that refuse to honor their duty and take proper care of their patients. Nursing homes that take advantage of their patients are not only morally and ethically reprehensible, they are in violation of numerous local, state, and federal laws.
