Sacramento Nursing Home Neglect Lawyer, Sacramento Nursing Home Abuse Attorney

When we make the difficult decision to place a loved one in a nursing home, we assume that nursing homes are operated by individuals who care about the health and well-being of the elderly. In fact, the nursing home industry has become a multi-billion dollar business comprised of major corporations whose goal often is to maximize profitability even at the expense of proper patient care. In an effort to maximize their profits, nursing homes often have staff who are inadequate in numbers, improperly trained, and ill-prepared to address the needs of their patients. This is the same for Rehabilitation Facilities, Adult Care Homes, Memory Care Homes, and other Senior Care Facilities. Even Semi-Independent Senior Living Facilities have duties to their residents if they provide certain services.

Many of these patients cannot speak or otherwise communicate, and may no longer understand when spoken to. They are too frail or ill or confused to be their own advocates. The results can often be devastating. There are hundreds of thousands of documented cases of elder abuse and neglect in our country every year.
