Nursing home residents rely entirely on staff for safe, appropriate care. When facilities fail to provide proper supervision, medical monitoring, hydration, nutrition, or hygiene, residents suffer avoidable harm. We investigate and litigate cases involving physical abuse, emotional abuse, neglect, and systemic failures in long-term care facilities. 

Pressure ulcers (bedsores) are almost always preventable. Stage III or IV wounds signal severe neglect, understaffing, poor repositioning, or medical mismanagement. We uncover how these wounds developed and pursue accountability for the suffering they cause.

Falls often result from poor supervision, understaffing, ignored alarms, or failure to follow care plans. Hip fractures, head trauma, and wrongful death commonly result from preventable falls in nursing homes. 

Weight loss, dehydration, and malnutrition indicate failure to monitor intake, inadequate staffing, or neglect of high-risk residents. These conditions can lead to organ failure, pressure ulcers, infections, and death. 

Untreated UTIs, pneumonia, COVID-19 complications, and delayed transfers to the ER are common signs of negligence. When staff fail to recognize symptoms or escalate care, residents can rapidly decline and suffer catastrophic harm. 

Abuse by staff or other residents must never be tolerated. We handle cases involving injuries, assault, sexual abuse, rough handling, and failures to protect vulnerable residents from harm. 

Dementia and memory-care residents must be properly supervised. When residents wander, leave the facility (elope), or suffer injuries off-site, the facility may be liable for lack of monitoring or inadequate safety protocols. 

Many nursing home injuries are not just “neglect” — they are medical malpractice. As a Registered Nurse and attorney, Eliza identifies clinical errors that other lawyers may overlook.

Medical malpractice in nursing homes often includes:

• Failure to diagnose infections, sepsis, or worsening conditions
• Medication errors, overdoses, or missed doses
• Improper wound care or mismanagement of pressure ulcers
• Failure to monitor vital signs or respond to alarms
• Poor clinical assessments by RNs/LVNs
• Delayed transfer to a hospital or failure to call 911
• Substandard medical decision-making by facility nurses or medical directors

These failures often overlap with elder abuse — strengthening the case and increasing potential damages.

With 25 years of clinical nursing experience, Eliza analyzes medical records, identifies deviations from standards of care, and builds a powerful medical–legal case designed to expose negligence and secure justice.

Assisted living facilities must still provide safe supervision, medication assistance, and proper care coordination. We investigate cases involving injuries, falls, failure to monitor, and inadequate staffing. Memory-care residents require specialized supervision. We handle cases involving wandering, aggression from other residents, unsafe environments, and failure to follow dementia care plans. 

When neglect or medical failures lead to death, families deserve answers and justice. We handle wrongful death claims involving falls, infections, dehydration, malnutrition, choking, medical errors, and systemic understaffing.
