Our Personal Injury Attorneys Fight for Victims of Elder Abuse

Nursing home neglect and injury aren’t insignificant or unknown problems. In fact, the World Health Organization estimates that two out of three workers at retirement communities or nursing homes have committed abuse.

With the global population of people over age 60 expected to more than double by 2050, Keches Law Group is here to help defend seniors who have experienced nursing home neglect, sustained an injury in a residential long-term care setting, or who have suffered any kind of elder abuse. 

A nursing home or senior living community can be a great choice for an older adult who needs a little extra help with daily activities. But when you or your loved one moves to a skilled nursing facility or retirement community, there’s a clear expectation that residents’ safety, happiness, and health needs will be met. The workers who support elderly residents have a duty to ensure they receive proper care and attention – and we’re here to help. 

Reach out to our skilled nursing home neglect lawyers at Keches Law Group if you suspect your family member is not receiving adequate care or even being subjected to abuse or neglect.

What is Elder Abuse and Elder Neglect?

Elder abuse refers to any knowing, intentional or negligent act by a caregiver or any other person that causes harm or a serious risk of harm to a vulnerable adult. 

Neglect of older people is described as the refusal or failure of a caregiver to fulfill obligations or duties. Obligations and duties include: providing any food, clothing, medicine, shelter, supervision, and medical care and essential services. 

A combat elder abuse and neglect, every state in the country has passed laws. The laws are there to prevent physical, sexual and emotional abuse, neglect, abandonment, exploitation and self-neglect. 

What Warning Signs Should I Tell a Nursing Home Neglect Lawyer?

Have you noticed anything different about your loved one? One warning sign doesn’t mean they are being abused, but knowing what to look for can help identify whether the senior citizen in your life is suffering from nursing home neglect.

  • Physical abuse: Look for bruises, pressure marks, broken bones, abrasions, and burns. 
  • Emotional abuse: Withdrawal without explanation, depression, loss of alertness. 
  • Sexual abuse: Bruises around the breasts or genital area 
  • Exploitation: Sudden changes in financial situation 
  • Neglect: Bedsores, unattended medical needs, poor hygiene, and unusual weight loss
