In most instances, nursing home problems arise due to neglect, negligence, or abuse. Often, in an attempt to cut costs, nursing homes hire inadequate or incapable staff members. As a result, many patients will be neglected for hours as basic needs for monitoring and care go unmet.

In other cases, nursing homes may be liable for the failure to provide proper medical monitoring or treatment. For further discussion on the medical aspects of nursing home abuse visit our medical malpractice information center.

Finally, reports of direct abuse can arise while patients are under the care of a nursing home. Such assaults can cause great physical and psychological damage to the victim.

Although rare, these tragedies can cause severe harm, both mentally and physically to those involved and are out of the scope of practice of most law firms. At The Law Offices of Robert A. D'Iorio and Associates PLLC, however, we handle these cases with compassion.
