Not all nursing home facilities provide safe environments for the residents who inhabit them. All too often, elderly individuals who reside in certain nursing home facilities in New York City are mistreated physically.
Physical abuse tends to be common in facilities that are understaffed, underpaid, and / or among staff members who are short-tempered. If you suspect that your loved one is being physically abused at his or her nursing home, you can look for the following warning signs to help confirm your suspicions.
Any nursing home staff member who physically abuses one or more patients at the facility can be held legally responsible for the resulting injury, illness, or death that occurs. Victims of physical abuse can seek financial compensation for their pain and suffering, and our New York City nursing home abuse lawyers are here to help in a legal pursuit of this nature.
