Usually, elder care in nursing homes or through home health care aides keeps older people safe and protected. But occasionally, health care aides injure an elderly person due to negligence or abuse. The elderly person may fall or become dehydrated due to negligent care.

How Does Elder Care Abuse Occur?

We often find that elder care abuse is a result of negligent hiring. Nursing homes and home health care agencies may fail to do adequate background checks on employees hired to care for the elderly. Nursing assistants with long histories of criminal activity or drug abuse are sometimes allowed into the elder care system. This can lead to instances of negligent nursing home care.

We handle cases involving:

• Falls in nursing homes
• Elder physical or sexual abuse
• Malnutrition or dehydration
• Bedsores
• Medication errors
• Improper use of restraints
• Broken bones
• Wandering or elopement
• Wrongful death
