Assisted Living Facilities

Having daily assistance with closing zippers and doing up buttons, nutritious meals and other daily necessities, while having trained medical professionals on hand to dispense medications on time provides security to a resident and his or her family. So how does a resident suffer from malnutrition, dehydration, physical abuse or sexual abuse in this professional and caring environment?

Some assisted living facilities leave residents vulnerable to abuse and neglect

High staff turnover and under-staffed conditions can prevent staff from being familiar with individual resident needs. This can mean a lack of proper care and even medication errors. Poor screening methods of prospective employees results in the hiring of unqualified personnel who do not understand the level of care needed by the elderly person.

The abuse or neglect of a senior-whether in a nursing home or an assisted living facility-is not acceptable. Our nursing home abuse attorneys take these cases personally and fight to get justice for clients. We conduct a thorough investigation to find out what really happened and hold negligent and abusive parties accountable.

We also determine the true amount of damages suffered by you and your family. These may include past and future medical expenses, pain and suffering and emotional distress. We are often able to negotiate a favorable settlement with the insurance company. But if the insurance company won't negotiate, we will be prepared for aggressive litigation.

If you or a loved one has suffered abuse or neglect in an assisted living facility, contact our Central Ohio law firm today. One of our attorneys can go over your options and answer your questions during a free consultation.
