Skilled Nursing Home Negligence Attorneys
It's a fact of life that nearly half of the U.S. population sixty-five or older will reside in nursing homes at some point. You may not know that negligence and mistreatment occur in nearly 1/3 of the nursing homes and eldercare facilities in the U.S. As family members, we trust that our loved ones will experience high levels of care, no matter which home we choose. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. No matter how closely we investigate a facility, nursing home neglect and mistreatment can and does occur.
At

With the rise in the nursing home population and projected longer life expectancies, nursing home litigation is becoming more common.
