Connecticut Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys
The Ferocious Legal Representation Your Loved Ones Deserve
Nursing home residents, among the most vulnerable members of our community, are entitled to proper care, dignity, and respect. Though many nursing homes do provide their residents with adequate levels of care, far too many do not. Profit-focused corporate chains have dominated the nursing home market for several years now. For-profit corporations prioritizing the bottom line over the safety and dignity of nursing home residents often leads to understaffing or inadequate training. A profit-driven focus on increasing the number of residents to the detriment of individualized care has led to a disturbing number of incidents involving neglect and abuse of seniors.
If you suspect that an elderly loved one may be suffering at the hands of their caretakers, contact our nursing home abuse lawyers in Connecticut by calling (860) 245-2412 today.
