Protecting Those Who Cannot Protect Themselves
The decision to put a parent, relative, or other incapacitated person into a nursing home should be the subject of in-depth conversations within a family. The selection of the nursing home often comes after thorough investigations and multiple onsite visits. Unfortunately, even after exhaustive investigation, many people find that the nursing home they trusted has violated that trust and allowed a resident to be neglected or abused.
At Pierce, Gabriel & Parker, LLC, in Alpharetta, Georgia, we understand that emotions run high when abuse or neglect is discovered by the family of a resident. We focus on a fact-based approach in building a claim to protect the victim's rights.
Nursing home negligence and instances of elder abuse represent a violation of great trust placed in a facility charged with caring for our vulnerable family members. For legal assistance, contact us at 888-869-8495.
When Nursing Homes Fall Short in Their Standard of Care
Nursing homes have specific standards, codes, and regulations that govern the quality of care they must provide. When they fall short, a loved one is put at risk of injury or wrongful death. Many times, a neglected or abused nursing home resident cannot articulate what has happened to them. This only makes a bad situation worse if a nursing home's negligence is going unnoticed.
Aggressive Pursuit of Justice for Victims of Financial Elder Abuse
At Pierce, Gabriel & Parker, LLC, we also advocate for clients whose loved ones have suffered elder abuse due to a family member, nursing home staff member, or other person illegally accessing a bank account, naming themselves a beneficiary, securing a power of attorney, or some other breach of fiduciary duty.
Whether your family member suffered from dehydration, a bedsore, or was victimized by a financial scam or fraud, we will work to get to the truth of the claim. We will aggressively pursue damages against the nursing home and work with the Department of Human Services (DHS), licensing authorities, and district attorneys if the negligent or abusive actions rose to the level of criminal behavior.
