Protecting Loved Ones From Nursing Home Negligence
Choosing a nursing home or assisted living center in western or central Pennsylvania for an elderly loved one is often a challenging task. After dedicating time to significant research and facility visits, even your best choice may prove disappointing in the level of care and attention provided to residents.
It is an unfortunate fact that many nursing homes are run by MBAs instead of health care providers and trained professional staff. Though investors of private long-term care facilities make a great deal of money, the level of care and compassion for the elderly and infirm residents rarely meets the expectations that family members were promised.
Experienced Western And Central Pennsylvania Nursing Home Wrongful Death Lawyers
Death is a frequent and expected occurrence at long-term care facilities serving the elderly and terminally ill. However, too many deaths occur — or are premature — because of negligence or lack of general observation and care by untrained staff. If your loved one died unexpectedly in a nursing home in western or central Pennsylvania, it is possible that your family has a claim for negligence against the owners or contracted care providers.
