Orange County Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer

Attorney for Nursing Home Abuse Cases

We all want the best for our grandparents and parents. In some cases, that means ensuring they are well-taken care of in a quality nursing home. But how do you really know if a nursing home is treating your family right? We know most homes are filled with caring staff with knowledge and experience working with the elderly, but, unfortunately, not all nursing homes are of this caliber. Some homes pay their staff minimum wage and ask for little more than the basic appearance of service. At these homes, the best employees are often negligent and inexperienced and the worst are abusive and cruel. If you discover your relative has been abused or neglected in his or her nursing home, it is crucial you contact a skilled Orange County nursing home abuse attorney. The Law Offices of Christopher E. Purcell can help you notify the proper authorities about the abuse and begin to develop a winning lawsuit against the home.

By taking a stand against the home with the help of an Orange County personal injury lawyer, you are not only helping your loved one, but sending a message to nursing homes everywhere that these activities will not be tolerated.

If you are not sure about the care your relative is receiving, the best things you can do are to just ask them and to visit regularly. Some elderly patients are too scared of repercussions by abusive staff members that they will neglect to speak ill against them. Other residents may be suffering from dementia or other mental illnesses, making their words questionable at best. In these situations, it is important to look for these warning signs before contacting an Orange County nursing home abuse lawyer:

• Bed sores
• Patient behavioral changes -particularly demonstrations of skittish behavior
• Bruising
• Fear of staff
• Malnutrition or dehydration
• Infections
• Unhygienic conditions
