Nursing Home Neglect & Abuse Attorney in Hammond
Each year, families are faced with a tough decision to place their loved ones in a nursing home, assisted living facility, or residential care facility. To ensure their day-to-day needs are being met, family members seek the professional help of facilities operating within a safe and secure environment. These homes must offer the best care to ease the pressure of providing daily attention.
While most nursing homes and assisted living facilities provide excellent care, there are still instances where abuse and neglect take place. Often, the abuse and neglect that occurs in these nursing facilities are due to a lack of attention to resident needs and poorly trained staff. In most cases, our elderly loved ones are unable to communicate their needs and experience. A lack of clear communication between our family members and the staff can result in a disregard for their greatest needs. Each day due to unsatisfactory conditions, patients fall victim to nursing home neglect and abuse.
