Protecting Seniors in Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Matters
As people age, their needs change. They often become dependant on family members to give them the physical and emotional support they need. Unfortunately, there comes a time when family members and friends can no longer provide the support that is needed and they look to professionals for assistance. Once our loved ones reach that point, many families turn to nursing home or assisted living facilities for help.
Once the incredibly difficult decision of using a nursing home or assisted living facility is made families put their trust in the home, depending on them to give the same care that they would give their loved one. Tragically, this trust is sometimes abused, causing physical, emotional and financial harm to both the residents and loved ones.

We Help Residents and Their Families
Many lawyers will simply look at the injuries that a nursing home or assisted living facility resident received and attempt to place a monetary value on those injuries. At Merovitz Gruber, LLC, we utilize a more comprehensive approach, by looking at the cause of the problems to not only compensate both the residents and their families, but also attempt to prevent similar problems in the future to all residents.
Although there are some people who should not work in nursing homes or assisted living facilities, more often than not the nursing home or assisted living facility are so understaffed that their staff cannot perform their jobs to the best of their ability. When we represent clients in nursing home abuse and neglect cases, we look at the corporations that run the nursing home or assisted living facility to determine if they prioritize corporate profit over client care.
