Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

The most common types of neglect and abuse are malnutrition, falls, dehydration, pressure sores, infections, burns, and assaults. Staffing and training deficiencies often cause these injuries. If your loved one is a victim of neglect or abuse in a nursing or residential facility, there are probably other residents in the facility who are also being neglected or abused; in fact there is probably a continuing pattern of neglect at the facility. The facility's history of violations of both federal and Massachusetts state law can show this pattern. Our firm will aggressively pursue all forms of neglect, abuse and assault.
