Your loved one is in a nursing home because he or she needs specialized care and treatment that is not available at home. Unfortunately, the nursing home industry has become a multi-billion dollar business that is run by corporations. Many times, these corporations are more interested in the "bottom line" than in providing the best care that they can. Many nursing homes and hospices are understaffed or staffed by unskilled and/or untrained workers.

Due to the increase in nursing home injuries and deaths caused by negligence, federal and state laws have been passed to protect nursing home residents. Many times, these laws are not followed and serious injuries or deaths occur. Fleming Law, P.C. has earned its reputation for excellent legal representation by helping families and clients face life-changing tragedies such as this. We are experienced and skilled in litigating medical malpractice and nursing home abuse cases. We have recovered millions of dollars for our clients.

A sign of potential abuse is physical neglect such as when nursing home staff does not provide those living in the facility with the necessities of daily living. Another area of potential concern is when residents suffer from frequent falls, which may be a sign that they are not being adequately monitored by the nursing home staff, or that doctors' orders regarding restraint are not being followed.

Another potential troubling sign is when the resident withdraws from normal interactions, which may indicate that the nursing home attendants are not providing the necessary level of assistance to the resident. Frequent infections may indicate that the nursing home staff is not following proper wound care or hygiene protocol. Many of the injuries that residents of nursing homes suffer from are caused by sub-standard care.
