\"\"The abuse of an elderly person who cannot care for him or herself without the assistance of another is a horrific crime. Not only may criminal charges be pursued in the event that nursing home abuse occurs, but compensation may also be recoverable in a civil action. Our experienced nursing home abuse attorneys are here to protect you.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Families turn to nursing homes and assisted living facilities to give their elderly loved ones the standard of treatment, supervision and care they need. Instead of being treated with respect and properly cared for, however, some of the elderly patients and residents in nursing homes across the U.S. are suffering from ill-treatment, abuse and neglect by their caregivers. Although there is not currently a single source of nationwide elder abuse statistics, it is estimated that between 1 and 2 million Americans aged 65 years or older have been subjected to some form of mistreatment by the very individuals they relied on for care and protection.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most notable study on nursing home abuse was included in a congressional report filed by Representative Henry Waxman of the 30th Congressional District of California. A review of state inspection records revealed that 5,283 nursing homes were cited for abuse violations from January 1999 to January 2001. This totaled approximately one in three facilities in the U.S. This number came as a shock to many Americans, who relied upon nursing homes to provide their elderly loved ones with the care and assistance they simply could not provide themselves.<\/p>\n
