Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers in McAlester

Holding Individuals Accountable for Their Negligence for 60+ Years

When you place your loved one in the care of others at a nursing home or assisted living facility, you expect that person to be safe and secure. However, sometimes the people you trust to care for your elderly family members break that trust. If you suspect that physical, mental, or financial abuse is occurring at your loved one’s nursing home, you need to take action. Federal and state laws prohibit these behaviors and dictate processes for reporting and investigating abuse.

We conduct a thorough investigation of the nursing home and staff to uncover all the facts in the case.

About Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect

It is imperative for families of residents to pay attention to the signs of potential abuse. The abusers could be employees, visitors, or other residents. In many cases, nursing home workers are unable to put a stop to the abuse because they are overworked, underpaid, and poorly trained. Staff members often keep abuse quiet. Victims frequently do not report abuse because they fear retaliation or social isolation. The abuse can be physical, sexual, emotional, or financial.

Some potential signs of nursing home abuse include:

  • Unsanitary living conditions
  • Loss of money or possessions
  • Unrecognized names on paperwork
  • Unexplained crying
  • Fear of visitors or of being alone
  • Bruises, cuts, burns, or fractures

Nursing home neglect is the most prevalent form of nursing home abuse today. Unlike other forms of nursing home abuse, neglect results from the staff’s lack of action. Common signs of nursing home neglect include depression, lack of medicine, malnutrition, dehydration, unsanitary living conditions, bedsores, unusual behavior, and more. Our firm’s McAlester nursing home abuse lawyers can help you get to the bottom of these symptoms and determine if you have a case.
