As
our population ages, more of our loved ones find themselves
living in rest homes and nursing homes. Even though
rest and nursing homes are regulated by both the state
and federal governments, the regulations are often inadequate
and frequently poorly enforced. Many regulations are
established by the owners of the very homes that are
being regulated, which could present a conflict of interest.
Obviously, many of these residents are on fixed incomes,
which means there is a set amount of income coming into
the facility per resident. Therefore, the only way to
increase profits is to reduce expenses.
Reducing expenses
means cutting corners. Homes routinely try to reduce
costs by paying low wages, skimping on meals, and not
properly dispensing medication.
We have successfully resolved many cases involving
nursing and rest home negligence. We would take particular
pride in helping your loved one and hopefully changing
the course of an industry for the benefit of us all.
