Nursing Home Neglect Attorney
Phoenix Wrongful Death Lawyer
When you entrust a loved one to the care of a nursing home, you expect that relative to be treated well. You expect the nursing home will provide a safe environment where residents are properly fed and are given their prescribed medicines. And you expect to be notified in case of a problem. When you suspect neglect, especially if that neglect contributed to a wrongful death, contact the nursing home neglect lawyers at Knapp & Roberts.
We care … and we can help.
Let us tell your story.
At our nursing home neglect law firm, we care about what happens to vulnerable people in nursing homes — and we can help.
- Bed Sores : Bed sores are preventable. If you see bed sores on a patient, that is a sign of neglect.
- Falls : Falls can be especially harmful to people with fragile bones. Were you informed of a fall? Did the patient receive treatment?
- Suspicious injuries : Have you noticed injuries that the nursing home personnel cannot adequately explain?
- Physical and chemical restraints : While safety is a concern, it should not come at the cost of human dignity.
- Physical abuse : Have you seen signs of physical abuse? Has your loved one suddenly become fearful?
- Sexual assault : Does your loved one have injuries and behavior that seem to indicate sexual assault?
- Malnutrition, dehydration : If you see signs that your loved one is not being fed properly or being given enough water, report the neglect.
- Nurse or physician negligence : Are medical professionals monitoring your loved one's health and treating medical problems?
- Wandering off : Was your loved one allowed to wander off or elope from the nursing home?
- Assisted living : Is the assisted living facility providing the appropriate help and support to your loved one?
- Group homes : Have you seen signs that the group home is not providing adequate food and water to the residents?
All of these are difficult matters to deal with. And all of them can be threats to a loved one's health, dignity, and life. If you suspect neglect, contact the appropriate authorities at the Arizona Protective Services. And contact the nursing home neglect attorneys at Knapp & Roberts.
