Nursing home neglect and abuse unfortunately may result from understaffing, a lack of qualifications, inadequate maintenance of a facility and its equipment, inadequate background checks, or the inadequate training of staff. It may be difficult for families to realize that their loved ones are being neglected or abused. Some common warning signs are bedsores, unexplained fractures, mood changes, and social withdrawal. We may be able to recover compensation if you or a loved one has been subjected to this reprehensible conduct.
