Nursing Home Negligence
You took great care in selecting an appropriate nursing home for your loved one. Recently, however, you noticed something odd. Your loved one does not appear to be happy and content in his or her new home. You fear that neglect may be the cause and have seen several of the signs, including:
- Inadequate attention paid to personal hygiene needs
- Significant weight loss that is unexplained by a medical condition
- Symptoms of dehydration or malnourishment
- Unaddressed bedsores and infections
- Unused medication that was prescribed for your loved one
- Poor or nonexistent supervision, if your elder requires it
- An environment that is not free of safety hazards
- Unsanitary conditions in the room or common areas frequented by your elder
Nursing home neglect is against the law and should never be tolerated. If you are concerned that your loved one is a victim, our elder law firm in Westchester County can help.
Elder care lawyers in Westchester County address neglect
It is difficult to make a claim against a nursing home for neglect. Your elder may be unable to state, due to physical or mental incapacitation, that illegal actions have occurred. He or she may fear retaliation by nursing home staff for speaking up about the matter. A resident may even feel ashamed or embarrassed that neglect occurred in the first place, or think that he or she did something to cause the behavior.
The elder law lawyers at Enea, Scanlan & Sirignano, LLP offer the legal guidance necessary to address neglect. We keep abreast of both federal and state regulations prohibiting inadequate care for elders, and we understand how to prove that neglect occurred. Our knowledge and experience in this area of law is substantial, and we are fully prepared to use it to the benefit of our clients.
Your loved one is entitled to feel safe, comfortable, and free of neglect. That means an appropriate amount of supervision, clean and functional living quarters, and prompt and attentive service to meet their needs. If these criteria have not been met, discuss your case as soon as possible with an experienced elder attorney in Westchester County.
