New York Nursing Home / Elder Abuse Lawyer

Incidents of negligence and abuse are occurring at elder care facilities across the country with more frequency, resulting in increasingly dangerous conditions for residents. The evidence of the seriousness of the problem is staggering. Since homes and facilities know there is little possibility of getting caught for their violations, there isn't much motivation for them to improve the quality of care. It is also a fact that more homes and centers are being owned and operated by For-Profit corporations (who are often more concerned with the bottom line than in providing adequate care and treatment). Finally, the current nationwide crisis in medical staffing has been especially felt in the nursing home industry. Nursing homes and facilities (particularly those owned and operated by For-Profit corporations) simply do not provide the salaries and incentives that would attract enough qualified doctors, nurses, and nurses' aides to properly care for residents. If you suspe ct that your loved one has been subjected to neglect or abuse in a nursing home, assisted living home or elderly care facility, please call us at 1-800-966-4999.
