Bed Sores. Malnutrition. Medication Mistakes.

Nursing homes sometimes put profits over people. The results are understaffing, poor training, little supervision, and inadequate safety procedures. When that happens, elderly victims can be injured or killed.

• When staff members fail to turn patients, pressure sores (bed sores, decubitus ulcers) can form. Deep, untreated decubitus ulcers can lead to pain, infection, and death.
• When patients cannot feed themselves or when they are provided inadequate food and drink, they can suffer from malnutrition and dehydration.
• When dementia and confusion are combined with poor safety and supervision, the result can be a dangerous fall and broken bones. Poorly supervised patients may also wander off into danger.
• If medication is not appropriately prescribed and properly administered, the patient can suffer from over-medication or under-medication.
• A sexually or physically abusive staff member could traumatize an elderly patient who would then be unable or unwilling to accuse the abusive caregiver.
• Our law firm also handles cases that involve defrauding elderly people of their money by theft or mismanagement.
