Questions about Nursing Home Abuse/Neglect

If I suspect my loved one is being mistreated in a nursing home, what should I do first?

Bringing your suspicions to light can be tricky. There is a lot of bureaucracy involved, and you want to make sure you aren’t approaching those responsible for the mistreatment. Your first step should be to talk to an experienced nursing home abuse attorney who can describe your options and possible outcomes in detail. If you are seriously considering filing a nursing home neglect and abuse claim, Attorney Jerry Taylor is the Alabama lawyer you want representing your loved one.

How can I tell if abuse or neglect is occurring?

We tell our clients to trust their instincts. If they feel that something is not right, it is always worth investigating. Please visit our signs of nursing home abuse page to learn more about spotting signs of mistreatment.

What is the best way to approach a facility regarding suspected abuse or neglect?

Nursing homes are very unique facilities. Unlike hospitals, their administrative circle is much smaller. They have own language, environment, and state and federal regulations.

The fact in many nursing home cases is that, in terms of overall care given to the residents, the right hand often does not know what the left hand is doing. After a thorough investigation through the proper channels, we will show how and why there was no comprehensive coordination of the care, no continuity of care, and no overall supervision.

Why is nursing home litigation so important to the Taylor Law Firm?
