Assisted Living Neglect

When you place a loved one in an assisted living facility, you expect competent care, respectful treatment and a safe environment. Unfortunately, neglect and substandard care do occur. If you suspect that someone you care for has suffered harm because of assisted living neglect, our legal team is here to guide you and protect their rights.

Assisted living neglect happens when a facility or its staff fail to provide the level of care that residents reasonably expect. This type of neglect may include:

• Failure to assist with essential daily needs such as bathing, dressing or eating
• Insufficient supervision leading to falls, wandering or unaddressed emergencies
• Mistakes with medications or completely missed doses
• Unsafe or unsanitary living conditions
• Lack of meaningful social interaction or mental stimulation

Recognizing neglect can be difficult, especially when a resident is unable to communicate clearly. If you notice any of the following signs, it may be time to act:

• Unexplained bruises, cuts, or injuries
• Rapid weight loss, dehydration, neglected personal hygiene
• Pressure sores or bedsores forming over time
• Frequent infections or illnesses
• Sudden behavioral changes, withdrawal or mood shifts

When you suspect a case of assisted living neglect, swift and thorough action is critical. Our team works to provide comprehensive legal support through every phase of the process.

We review medical records, resident care logs and facility documentation. We gather witness statements, consult experts and build a detailed understanding of how the neglect occurred.

We identify all parties who may be held accountable, including the facility, its staff and any affiliated health-care providers. We craft a strategy tailored to your family’s situation and goals.

Our aim is to secure full compensation for the harm suffered, which may include:

• Actual and future medical and care costs
• Pain and emotional suffering
• Loss of quality of life or diminished independence
• Lost income or support if the resident acted in a contributor role
