Marietta Nursing Home Neglect Attorneys
Many Georgians entrust the care of their loved ones to nursing home facilities, expecting them to be well cared for. Sadly, this is not always the case. Each year, thousands of elderly patients are abused, neglected, or mistreated in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and rehabilitation centers. These loved ones are often sick or otherwise unable to care for themselves and must rely completely on the staff at these facilities to assist them in daily activities as well as to provide appropriate healthcare. Because of this dependency, they are more susceptible to abuse, neglect, and malpractice.
When an elderly loved one suffers injuries while residing at a nursing home, it is most often because the facility is understaffed and overburdened with other patients. Some of the staff members may not be sufficiently trained or may lack the experience necessary to provide appropriate care to your loved ones. There is no excuse for the neglect of elderly patients, and the best nursing home negligence attorneys at Andrew W. Jones, P.C. are here to help.
