Nursing Home Neglect & Abuse

Wheaton Illinois Nursing Home Neglect & Abuse Attorneys

The Sad Story of Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse

Nursing home residents are often injured by the very people entrusted with the care of our frail or elderly loved ones.

If a member of your family suffered from nursing home neglect or abuse, you know that residents often do not have the resiliency to spring back from an injury. A bed sore or a broken hip can trigger a rapid decline in health that results in premature death.

Nursing Home Residents Have Rights

The attorneys of Walsh, Knippen, Knight & Pollock, Chartered, in Wheaton, Illinois, stand up for the rights of nursing home residents. We seek full financial compensation for damages caused by nursing home neglect and abuse.

Medication errors and overdoses

Improper wound care
Infections

Failure to establish or implement fall prevention plans
