Morelli Law Firm: Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys
Nursing home abuse and neglect is a major problem in New York and throughout the United States. As the elderly population continues to rise, many nursing homes are overcrowded and understaffed. These conditions often contribute to unnecessary pain and suffering for residents and their families who are paying good money for their family members to be properly cared for by these facilities.
The Department of Health and Human Services reports that in 2014, 7.6 percent of nursing homes faced complaints involving gross neglect, abuse, or exploitation of elderly residents. In reality, the statistics are probably much higher since so many nursing home abuse and neglect incidences go unreported. Many elderly people are too ill or incapacitated to complain, and nursing homes may cover up the real reason an elderly person has died. Nursing home abuse often goes undetected by family members who are not there to witness what really happened.
Elder abuse by nursing home staff is only one of the many problems with these facilities. Residents sometimes also abuse each other, and the staff fails to intervene. Residents sometimes fall or are injured, or residents become ill but their illness is not treated promptly or correctly. Residents may develop bed sores from not being properly cared for. All of these types of incidents are preventable and illegal under New York law.
At Morelli Law Firm, our nursing home abuse attorneys have more than a hundred years of collective experience fighting for the rights of nursing home residents and their families. We are committed to getting justice for elder care abuse victims by holding nursing homes accountable for their wrongful actions and negligence. If your family member has been neglected or abused in a nursing home, it is important to explore your legal options as quickly as possible to get the compensation you deserve.
