Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers Augusta GA, Evans GA, Waynesboro GA, and Thomson GA
Nursing home neglect is when your family’s caretaker neglects to provide for their basic needs, like cleanliness, food, water, and safety. Often, the sights and sounds of nursing home neglect can go unnoticed, because providers can be on their “best behavior” when families visit, masking and covering up the neglect that happens in secret. Nursing home abuse, however, is often noticeable to visiting family. There are for main categories of abuse we see most often, but you should discuss each nuance of your case with us to see how we can help you best. Those categories are physical, emotional, economic, and sexual abuse. We expect that the nursing homes where our elderly loved ones live are safe places where our family can get qualified medical care we can’t provide at home, or assistance with daily tasks that we can’t do by ourselves. It’s our worst nightmare when we suspect they’re being abused by the nursing home staff we’re paying and trusting to care for them. What do you do? How do you get justice and reclaim safety for your loved one? We put faith in our nursing homes to look after our loved ones, and when they cause trauma because they don’t follow the legal procedures and policies in place to ensure a high quality of living, you need Hawk Law Group on your side. Our population is aging and increasingly we’re dependent on institutional care to fill in the gaps where we fall short providing adequate care for our elders at our home or in theirs.
