Nursing Home Neglect/Bedsores

Nursing Home Neglect is NOT Okay

It is an egregious violation of law and human decency for an elderly or disabled person who needs assistance to move or care for themselves is left unattended for long periods of time in a nursing home or assisted living facility. Being left to lay in a bed without attention or care for hours on end can result in future immobility of joints, loss of bone density, and decubitus ulcers or bedsores. In most cases, these problems are entirely preventable, leaving nursing homes in great legal trouble.
Both New York Public Health laws and federal laws provide powerful rights and protections for nursing home and assisting living patients who are neglected, abused, or defiled in any other way. However, to invoke these statutory rights, you and your loved ones will need the protection of a professional Personal Injury lawyer like those at Shalom Law, PLLC. We take pride in ensuring that you receive the full benefit of these protections that you are legally entitled to and have had great success in these cases.
