Too often we hear only about facilities where elder abuse or neglect has taken place in the thousands of facilities providing elder care in California. This is certainly a reason to be concerned since it can easily expose your parents or grandparents to the risks of becoming the next victims of nursing home abuse.

Stop The Harm & Humiliation Of Elders

There are many elders that suffer from nursing home abuse in which they are manipulated, humiliated, or physically harmed by the very people entrusted with providing them with care. Instances of physical, sexual and verbal abuse have taken place at the nursing homes where elders are actually supposed to be well taken care of; unfortunately, cases of nursing home abuse in California are rising rather than falling. It's possible that as many as thirty percent of all nursing homes in America may have residents suffering from neglect or abuse. What’s more, there are also many cases of nursing home abuse that go unreported, so the situation is serious and hiring a qualified California nursing home abuse attorney is your best bet when dealing with such painful issues.

There are various signs of abuse and neglect. They are (but are not limited to) evidence such as patterns of bruising, unexplained injuries, frequent infections, bedsores, questionable hygiene, appearance of malnutrition, emotional distress, and unsanitary living conditions. You should document any such evidence you observe, and bring it to the attention of our attorneys. Neglect can be just as harmful in the long run as abuse, leading to additional health problems and possibly death. Nursing home abuse isn't limited to physical abuse; there can also be emotional, verbal, and psychological abuse, where an elder is demeaned or humiliated in other ways.

When you hire the lawyers of Demas & Rosenthal, you can be assured of being represented in a sympathetic, direct, and aggressive manner. The sad truth is that when it concerns nursing home abuse, it must be dealt with just as if any other crime has been committed, since such abuse can and does often result in accidents as well as injuries and sometimes can even lead to premature deaths. In case you suspect that your loved one has been abused at a nursing home in California, hiring an attorney can provide not only compensation for injuries or pain suffered by your loved one, but can also send a message to the nursing home's administration, thereby helping other families as well. Contact the California Department of Social Services to report suspected abuse, and then contact us.
