According to the National Council on Aging, about 1 in 10 elderly Americans over the age of 60 have experienced some form of elder abuse. If you or someone you know has a parent or loved one in a nursing home or receiving elderly care, the last thing you want to worry about is if your loved one is being exploited and taken advantage of. Pursuing litigation can sound intimidating, but we are here to tell you the process is not as difficult as it may seem, and the stress is not substantial if you have the proper team in place. You can be as involved in the case as you’d like. However, if minimal stress is your goal, while you will likely have your deposition taken, we can take over and streamline the process for you. Nursing homes in particular have taken an institution that should be beneficial to society in caring for the elderly and turned them into cash machines, playing the system to maximize profit. By cutting down expenses, they end up providing the minimum amount of care they can get away with. Oftentimes, nursing homes will carry the minimum number of nurses to fulfil the required nurse-to-patient ratio. However, in certain cases where patients are bedridden and require a substantial amount of care, these minimum requirements put patients at risk, and they suffer for it. When we bring litigation, these nursing homes then have to spend the money to hire enough nurses and properly train them, benefiting not just your loved one but other elderly individuals as well. When people bring these cases, a greater societal good results because, sometimes, the only way to right the wrongs of these nursing homes is to pursue legal action and hit them where it hurts (in their pocketbook), so to speak.
