One of the most difficult decisions a family has to make is placing a loved one in a nursing home.  Even more difficult is seeing them receive poor care or, worse, abused or neglected.  Resolving nursing home problems is not easy.  Often families are already feeling guilt or anxiety over having placed a family member in a nursing home, and suspicions of wrongdoing only compound those feelings.

Furthermore, when problems are encountered, families are not always aware of the resources available to help them, which usually leave them feeling helpless.

Sadly, abuse and neglect in nursing homes is real, but families and communities can take an active role in its prevention.  Our loved ones deserve the best possible care.

This Nursing Home Blog is our effort to assist legal professionals, those with loved ones in nursing homes, and our clients in staying current on recent changes in nursing home law, politics and the news.
