NURSING HOME NEGLIGENCE AND NEGLECT
Nursing homes across the country have been found guilty of providing poor patient care through under-staffing, improper training, and poor management among other common nursing home issues. Long-term care providers are supposed to be advocates for the elderly under their care. However, many nursing home employees have victimized patients through emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, taking advantage of patients’ completely dependent states. Elder abuse can come in many forms in a nursing home, but can include the following:
- PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, OR SEXUAL ABUSE
- CAREGIVER NEGLECT OR ABANDONMENT
- FINANCIAL ABUSE, THEFT, OR FRAUD
If you or a loved one has experienced negligence or neglect in a nursing home, call AVA Law Group today for help.

CORONAVIRUS
NURSING HOME NEGLIGENCE
Individuals in nursing homes are largely at the highest risk of contracting COVID-19, especially given the elderly stage of life of residents, living in close quarters, and the majority having preexisting health conditions. Injured individuals and the loved ones of coronavirus victims claim that nursing homes failed to respond quickly and adequately to the COVID-19 outbreak, contributing to the spread of the disease in facilities.
A nursing home may be responsible for your loved one’s coronavirus diagnosis if they failed to:
- FAILED TO PROPERLY TRAIN STAFF
- IGNORED CDC AND HEALTH OFFICIALS ORDERS
- CROWDED RESIDENTS TOGETHER
- FAILED TO INFORM LOVED ONES OF COvid OUTBREAK AT FACILITY
- FAILED TO NOTIFY PATIENTS OF THE CORONAVIRUS RISK
