Nursing Home Abuse or Negligence
The law firm of Howell & Thornhill
can help if you or a loved one is a victim of neglect by a nursing
home or assisted living facility. Bed sores, repeated falls,
skin tears, broken bones, wrong medication, dehydration, malnutrition,
filthy sheets, and unanswered call lights are some of the problems
a poor nursing home may cause.
The nursing
home industry has changed dramatically over the last several
years. In the past, the Federal government paid high amounts
to nursing homes for routine care. In our opinion, these huge
profits encouraged some big corporations to buy up homes in
Florida and other states at any price. The house of cards
collapsed when the Federal government reduced the amount paid
for routine care. The big corporations were left with high
debt costs on the nursing homes. Some corporations have filed
for bankruptcy. It appears that some corporations have cut
back employees to keep up the profits. Sadly, the main result
has been a lack of care for residents. Residents frequently
die because some nursing homes ignore their residents. The
whole idea of a nursing home is 24 hour care. Some residents
do not receive any care.
The law firm of Howell & Thornhill has
six attorneys, a full time certified legal investigator, and
a full time nurse to help if you or a loved one is hurt or killed
by a nursing home. Please call 800-992-0492 or email
us.
Howell & Thornhill is your home team.
