Nursing Home Negligence

With the elderly population growing, the number of instances of reported negligent care in nursing homes is on the rise. With the baby-boomer generation aging, the instances of nursing home negligence can be expected to increase even more.

The lawyers of Shebell & Shebell, L.L.C. are waiting to hear from you if your loved one is the victim of any type of nursing home neglect or abuse. Abusing an elderly resident of a nursing home is a particularly horrendous act that should not be tolerated.

Our firm will advocate aggressively on behalf of your elderly relative who is no doubt too weak to defend himself. Nursing homes are places we expect to give caring attention to our relatives, not places where the elderly are ignored, treated badly, or abused.  Yet all too often, nursing homes do become places that victimize the elderly.

We can look into circumstances such as:

• Inadequate staffing
• Poor training
• Unqualified employees
• Violent employees
• Sexual predators
• Poorly screened applicants

When you visit, does your relative display a fear of the staff?  There may be a reason.  If you notice any of the following, contact us:

• Unexplained injuries and bruises
• Financial abuse
• Staff taking money from residents
• Staff ignoring residents
• Inappropriate use of restraints
• Beatings
• Sexual abuse
• Verbal abuse
• Bedsores from failure to turn patients in bed
• Failure to move patients from wheelchairs
• Malnutrition
• Dehydration
• Improper medication
• Slip and fall accidents due to staff inattention
• Failure to use bedrails resulting in falls
• Missing valuables

We can help your elderly relative receive compensation for negligent care. We can also move your loved one to a better facility which will provide the proper care your relative deserves.  Contact an attorney at Shebell & Shebell, L.L.C. today to discuss your New Jersey nursing home neglect case.
