Nursing Home Negligence Lawyer – Pennsylvania Representing those Who Have Been the Victim of Nursing Home Abuse or Neglect.
We honor and cherish our elders and we hope that they are treated with dignity, respect, and proper medical procedures once we are no longer able to take care of them. Oftentimes, however, that is not the case, and our loved ones suffer abuse or neglect at the hands of the same people they trusted to take care of them.
Painful bed sores, forced isolation from activities and other residents, infections arising from improper sanitation, and other preventable suffering are all reasons to seek advice from Pennsylvania nursing home neglect lawyers DiSandro & Malloy.
Federal Law Protects Nursing Home Residents
Due to the federal 1987 Nursing Home Reform Law, nursing home facilities receiving government funding via Medicaid and Medicare are required to comply with specific federal regulations, including:
- Maintain the dignity and respect of each resident.
- Promote the resident’s right to choose activities involving socialization, schedules, and healthcare.
- Provide the necessary services for the resident to possess good nutrition, grooming, and personal oral hygiene.
- Prevent bedsores from developing. If they have developed, provide necessary treatment to ensure healing and prevention of new sores.
- Ensure that the resident receives assistance to prevent slips and falls.
- Promote residents’ quality of life.
Because we care about you and your loved ones, we will investigate to make sure that the above qualifications have been met by the nursing home facility. If the law has not been followed, we will build a case to help you receive due compensation for your loved ones’ pain and suffering.
