Salem Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys

Contact Us for a Free Initial Consultation

When a loved one requires health services that you can’t provide at home, you may have to make the difficult decision to have them cared for in a nursing home. Nursing homes have resources and staff available to provide 24-hour care for your aging loved ones. While these facilities are trusted to treat their residents properly, an alarming number of nursing home abuse cases occur. If your loved one suffered nursing home abuse, you should seek legal counsel from an experienced attorney who can help you through the process of filing a lawsuit against the facility.

Nursing home abuse can include:

  • Mental or psychological abuse: staff yells at, demeans, or otherwise verbally abuses the resident
  • Neglect: staff fails to check-in on the resident, does not provide food or water, or ignores medical conditions
  • Sexual abuse: staff makes unwanted sexual advances toward the resident
  • Financial abuse: staff steals from or otherwise manipulates the patient to take money from them
