Memory Care Facility Abuse in Columbus, OH

What is a memory care facility?

As briefly explained above, memory care facilities provide specialized care for people living with Alzheimer’s, dementia and other memory-related issues. Unlike other nursing homes, memory care facilities have employees with advanced training specifically designed to deal with people with memory-related issues. Memory care facility employees also often provide additional services for residents, including:

• Checking on residents’ status more often than most nursing homes
• Making sure residents actually eat their food and drink enough water
• Helping residents bathe or clothe themselves if they’re unable to
• Physically taking residents to meals or other activities in the facility

Every memory care facility is different but the bottom line is that families should reasonably expect that memory care facility residents will receive more advanced care and more personalized attention. When residents don’t and an injury or illness occurs, the memory care facility should be held accountable for its actions.

What are common memory care facility abuse claims?

Memory care facility abuse claims can cover a wide range. Some of the most common – and most serious – claims we deal with at our law firm may involve employees or other residents:

• Physical abusing (hitting, slapping, etc.) memory care facility residents
• Verbally abusing (yelling, teasing, etc.) memory care facility residents
• Sexual abusing residents

Memory care neglect can also sometimes be a very serious issue with serious consequences. Examples of memory care facility neglect can include:

• Not feeding residents enough food
• Not properly cleaning resident’s rooms
• Not regularly washing residents
• Not checking in on residents as often as promised

Whatever type of memory case abuse or neglect claim your family is dealing with, we want to help you hold the facility responsible for its actions.

What makes memory care facility abuse cases so complicated?

Memory care facility abuse claims often turn out to be very complicated legal cases. Some of the reasons why include:

• Memory care facility denies doing anything wrong
• Memory care facility claims your family member made up what happened
• Your loved one has no memory of being abused or neglected
• Memory care facility’s insurance company denies your abuse claim

Don’t let the memory care facility dictate what happens to you or your loved one. Take back control. Talk to an attorney at our law firm. We can fight for justice for you.
