Nursing Home Neglect & Abuse

Nursing Home Neglect & Abuse is an issue that has always existed, but only recently has drawn attention.

Unfortunately, the elderly in our society are too often relegated to substandard and neglectful environments at nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Bass and Rubinowitz's attorneys' experience and knowledge combined with an aggressive and efficient approach to these cases provides our clients with the highest quality of representation. State laws define elder abuse, and those laws vary from one jurisdiction to another, in terms of what constitutes the abuse, neglect, or exploitation of the elderly.

Nursing Home Neglect & Abuse refers to the maltreatment of an elderly person that occurs in a residential facility, (e.g. nursing homes, foster homes, board and care facilities and group homes). The perpetrators of this type of abuse are usually those who have a legal or contractual obligation to care for and provide care to the elderly person.
