Protecting the Rights of the Elderly
Making the decision to put a loved one into a nursing home or other care facility is never an easy one. But, when it becomes necessary to do so, we do our best to find an organization that we feel will provide the loving care they deserve and that we would provide ourselves if we were able.
We rely on the facility we choose to fulfill our loved one's needs, and we expect that the staff will treat patients with dignity and respect at all times. These types of care facilities have a duty of care to residents. When they fail to fulfill that duty, it can create a dangerous and unhealthy situation for everyone under their care.
If your loved one has suffered any type of injury, neglect or abuse while under the care of a nursing home or similar facility, a dedicated attorney can help to ensure that the responsible parties pay for the harm they have caused. At McCann Schaible & Wall, LLC, we represent nursing home residents throughout Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey. For a free consultation, please call our Philadelphia nursing home abuse lawyer at 215-305-8454 or 302-504-8091, or contact us online.
Fighting Against Negligence and Abuse
When an injustice is happening, those with the ability to do something about it have the responsibility to do so. While our first responsibility in these cases is always to our clients and working to secure the best possible outcome for them, it is also our hope that the work we do can serve as a wake-up call to nursing homes and other facilities that negligence and abuse will not be tolerated.
We have experience handling many different kinds of nursing home cases, including the following:
- Malnutrition and dehydration
- Inattentive care leading to bedsores or other conditions
- Physical or emotional abuse
- Theft
- Negligent security
- Elopement or wandering off
- Failure to diagnose or treat a medical condition
- Medication errors
