Q: How do I select the best nursing home for my parent?
A: Start by using Medicare.gov’s Care Compare tool to rank facilities in your area. Once you have a short list, visit each facility. Look past the shiny lobby or renovated common areas. Ask to see where the residents live. Speak with staff and ask tough questions. Choose the facility where you feel most comfortable.
Q: What is nursing home abuse? How will I know if my parent is neglected?
A: Abuse is the withholding of care, supervision or services needed by a vulnerable adult. The most common nursing home abuse injuries we see are bedsores, broken bones, patient falls and wrongful death.
Q: Why pursue a claim if my parent passed away from nursing home negligence?
A: Overwhelmingly, nursing homes are for-profit entities. They are run by MBAs, not doctors. Their focus is on profits. Due to lenient government oversight, facilities usually go unpunished for neglect-related injuries. This means if you do not take the company’s money for harming your parent, they will continue to neglect residents. Our firm’s mission is to economically disincentivize nursing home abuse. The only accountability and justice available is by making a claim.
