Our
elderly and incapacitated citizens are some of the most
vulnerable people in our society. Families need to know
that when they send their loved one to a nursing home,
they will receive proper care and treatment. Yet, almost
one-third of U.S. nursing homes were cited for abuse between
1999 and 2001.
When a nursing home neglects or abuses its helpless patients,
and/or fails to exercise proper care, you may be able
take legal action to rectify the situation and claim compensation.

fair compensation.
