Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Our loved ones in nursing homes deserve the same care that they gave us.

Sometimes though, this is not the case. We see common injuries resulting from falls, infections, bed-sores and dehydration - often these are due to direct fault of the nursing home. At AttorneyOK.com we consider these cases particularly disturbing. If your loved one is currently in a nursing home consider the signs of elder abuse:

• Open wounds, bruising, cuts, burns, loss of use of limbs, soreness
• Behavioral changes
• Weight fluctuations

• Anxious or agitated
• Sudden repetitive or compulsive behaviors like rocking or shaking

• Bed sores or pressure sores
• Lack of personal hygiene
• Lack of general hygiene of the center
• Fecal or urine odors, soiled bedding

While we may like to think that the nursing home our loved one is at is safe, consider this: According to a government report, almost one of three nursing homes in the United States has been cited for an abuse or violation. All of these complaints had at least the potential to harm nursing home residents. . .almost a quarter were considered serious enough to place residents in immediate danger of serious injury or death.

We offer a free initial consultation and, if hired, we will go to work on your case immediately and there will be no fee unless and until a favorable result is reached. It is our mission to force nursing homes to give our elderly the respect and care that they deserve.
