Nursing homes and assisted living homes care for some of our most vulnerable and most valuable family members. Unfortunately, these facilities are often understaffed and sometimes undertrained.
Nursing home and assisted living home abuse and neglect is one of the nation’s largest growing problems and it is severely underreported. Even so, an estimated one in three nursing homes is reported for nursing home abuse.

Bedsores tend to occur when nursing home patients are neglected. Bedsores, also knowns as pressure ulcers, can occur in areas of the skin that are under pressure for an extended period. These can occur when a patient is in bed, sitting in a wheelchair, or wearing a cast for a prolonged time. Bedsores can be found anywhere, but frequent locations are heels, ankles, hips, and the tailbone.
What should you do if your loved one suffered nursing home abuse or neglect? Here are several things you can do to protect your loved one and their rights and interests:
Nursing homes have a responsibility to care for your loved ones. Unfortunately, sometimes this does not happen and nursing homes need to be held accountable.
If your loved one has been abused, neglected, or otherwise injured due to the negligence of a nursing home, we can help can help your family hold the nursing home accountable. An abusive nursing home should be forced to pay compensation for any pain, suffering, and mistreatment they caused.
To determine liability, we investigate and look closely at all of the available evidence and at all of the parties involved. It is important to realize that filing a lawsuit for nursing home neglect not only can help to protect your loved one and provide justice, but it can also help to protect others from suffering harm at the hands of an abusive or neglectful nursing home.

After our mother was hospitalized for suffering from several medical issues, her doctors suggested she go to a rehabilitation facility to gain back some strength. All she wanted was to come home, and we promised her that in just two weeks she would be home. While at that facility she fell, broke her hip, and suffered due to the negligence of the staff. After watching her in pain and suffering, we felt it was unfair for this to happen due to negligence, so we contacted Mr. Emmett Madden.
Mr. Madden came to visit our mother and was so kind, patient, and understanding as he listened to her story. He agreed to take on our case and was wonderful through it all. He explained everything he was doing along the way and took care of everything for us. We could then focus on her recovery at home.
Unfortunately, our mother passed away before the case was settled. We were asked to go to mediation to settle the case. It was hard at this point because we were so sad about losing our mother and didn’t want to relive the pain. Again, Mr. Madden took care of everything for us that day and understood how we were feeling. He secured a generous settlement for us and when we received it, we felt like we were receiving one last gift from our mother that we wouldn’t have gotten without his efforts. He was a great help to us and we will always be grateful to him for his professional services.
