Nursing homes and assisted living facilities provide a necessary service for senior citizens and those with disabilities. Most caregivers have good hearts and intentions. However, nursing home and elder abuse is a growing epidemic. Money drives business and sometimes, an organization’s care for humanity suffers for the sake of the bottom line.
There are an estimated 80,000 residents in Ohio nursing homes.
Nursing homes and assisted living facilities in Ohio are, unfortunately, easy targets for abusers. The elderly and disabled must depend on others to help them with the basic needs of everyday life. It is difficult for them to speak out against an abuser for fear of even worse treatment. In many cases, a victim has been threatened with even worse abuse if they do not keep quiet about the abuse or neglect.
If you know about or suspect nursing home or elder abuse, don’t wait. Contact us today. Our Cincinnati elder abuse lawyers offer confidential and respectful legal counsel to victims and their families.
