Nursing Home Abuse
At MalamutLaw, we know the emotional pain that results when your loved one has been abused while in the care of a nursing home or long-term care facility. Abuse or neglect of the elderly is not as rare as we all would hope. These situations can make families feel hopeless and scared to leave their loved ones alone. We expect that our parents, grandparents, and loved ones will at least receive adequate care and be treated with common human decency. Sadly, this is not always the case. If you feel that a loved one has been neglected, abused, or otherwise harmed while under the care of a nursing home or long-term care facility, we strongly encourage you to contact our experienced attorneys as soon as you become aware of the situation. We offer free consultations.
