If your loved one was injured in a nursing home because of neglect, please contact me, nursing home abuse and neglect lawyer Dan A. Atkerson. I can help you recover financial compensation for the damages caused by neglect or abuse of a nursing home resident.
According to the National Center on Elder Abuse, nursing home abuse and neglect can take many forms, including:
- Physical neglect: disregard for the necessities of daily living
- Medical neglect: lack of care for existing medical problems
- Failure to prevent dehydration, malnutrition, and bed sores
- Failure to assist in personal hygiene, or in the provision of food, clothing, or shelter
- Unsanitary and unclean conditions

- Assault
- Sexual abuse
- Failure to monitor or supervise
- Unreasonable physical restraint
- Failure to protect from health and safety hazards
- Inadequate elderly fall prevention measures
Nursing home residents are among the most vulnerable people in our society. They deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. At the very least, they should receive the care for their physical and medical needs, which nursing homes are obligated to provide.
