Vulnerable people in nursing homes are entitled to dignified, responsible care. Too often, though, elderly people are injured because of nursing home neglect. If you know or suspect that a loved one is being mistreated or neglected in a nursing home, talk to an experienced personal injury lawyer. Call Stambaugh Law, P.C. in York, Pennsylvania.

Sometimes, nursing home neglect is the result of understaffing. Sometimes, neglect results from a lack of care in hiring or training. Whatever the reason, there is no excuse for nursing home neglect. These are some of the most vulnerable members of our community and they are entitled to be safe.

• Knowing the signs of abuse: When an elderly resident seems afraid or has unexplained bruises or fractures, family members and other visitors need to ask questions about what is happening. If the answers are vague and don’t make sense, talk to an attorney who can help identify the problem.
• Recognizing evidence of neglect: Bedsores — especially those that become infected — are caused by lack of proper care. A resident who is allowed to wander off, is over-medicated or under-medicated, or shows signs of malnutrition or dehydration is likely a victim of nursing home neglect. Nursing home neglect needs to be dealt with quickly. Ask us about the rights of nursing home residents.
• Protecting the rights of the elderly: At Stambaugh Law P.C., we know how important it is to move quickly when elder abuse or elder neglect is involved.
