Placing an elderly parent or a sick relative in a nursing home or assisted living center is frequently a traumatic and emotional event for both the nursing home or assisted living resident and their family members. Unable to care for their basic needs because of illness or infirmities, these patients become partially or totally dependent on nursing home doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers for their daily care.

While many nursing homes provide excellent care, there are times when failure to follow proper nursing home guidelines or regulations results in an accident. Some patients even suffer physical, mental or sexual abuse due to the actions of a nursing home staff member.

Patino & Associates offers experienced representation for nursing home accident or abuse victims who suffer serious personal injury resulting in pain, unnecessary medical expenses or wrongful death.

We will investigate the full circumstances of the nursing home abuse or accident to determine what happened and who is at fault. Our team of nursing home accident attorneys will help you determine if you may qualify for compensation in nursing home accident or abuse cases involving:

• Bed sores
• Care for Alzheimer’s disease
• Falls
• Malnutrition and dehydration
• Medication errors
• Misuse of nursing home restraints
• Sexual assault
• Wandering off
