Dallas-Fort Worth Nursing Home Negligence Lawyer
Elder abuse in Texas nursing homes has been a serious problem for many years. When one person is abused or neglected within a nursing home or other long term care facility, it is usually the result of a continuing pattern of neglect at the facility impacting other residents. Whether the abuse is the result of staffing or training deficiencies or failure to properly screen its employees, it is important to carefully investigate a facility's history to determine if there is a pattern of neglect. Nursing home abuse and neglect comes in many forms:
- Physical Abuse - intentional injury or unnecessary restraint of an elder;
- Sexual Abuse;
- Negligent Care - failure to provide adequate and prompt medical care, nutrition or hydration resulting in death, falls, hip fractures and bed sores.
