Nursing Home Abuse

The nursing home abuse attorneys at VanDerGinst Law, P.C. have the experience necessary to stand up for the rights of the elderly. Every year more than a million nursing home residents suffer either neglect or active abuse. A nursing home abuse attorney can help when a nursing home subjects you or your family member to malnutrition, dehydration, bed sores, over-sedation, gangrene, abandonment, theft, sexual assault, coercion, mental abuse, or the like.

Congress has established minimum requirements for nursing homes that want to provide services under Medicare and Medicaid. A nursing home abuse attorney is familiar with nursing home requirements laid out in the Social Security Act and understands that these requirements merely act as a baseline for the treatment of the elderly. Nursing home abuse attorneys are vital to ensure fair treatment for our growing elderly population.
