WRONGFUL DEATH IN NURSING HOMES


When you place a loved one in a nursing home, you expect they will be cared for and treated with respect. Tragically, many nursing home residents suffer physical and emotional abuse, neglect, and other inexcusable forms of mistreatment at the hands of nursing home staff. In the most heartbreaking of these cases, gross neglect or abuse results in a loss of life. This is absolutely unacceptable.

Nursing Home Abuse Resulting in Death

Some of the most common forms of nursing home abuse and neglect can prove fatal. This is particularly true for patients who have less physical strength, but no one is safe in nursing homes where abuse and neglect occur. You can help prevent harm to your loved one by vetting the home in which they will be placed.  The most effective way to prevent a loss of life is preventing nursing home abuse in the first place.
