If you believe your loved one was neglected, abused, or injured in an assisted living home, you may be able to get compensation by filing a claim against the facility.
Elder abuse in an assisted living facility is quite common. A lot of homes will take in residents that really need a more formal nursing home environment. These residents might be immobile or bedridden, or suffer from dementia and Alzheimer’s.
They need regular medication and supervision. Assisted living facility staff members often don’t have the training or support to handle all of these needs.
As a result, you have spaces that are understaffed, poorly supervised, and stressful. Even well-meaning workers can’t always keep up with the responsibilities. If you or a loved one has been injured due to elder abuse, you need the nursing home lawyer Memphis, TN trusts with their most serious cases.
