The decision to entrust the well-being of a family member to a nursing home can be painful and difficult. Unfortunately, all too often that nursing home or assisted living facility fails to provide the care that they promised to provide, which is why our Bronx nursing home neglect lawyers are here to help. Nursing home abuse and neglect has become something of a regular occurrence - in any given year, 1 in 4 nursing homes in America are responsible for the injury or even death of people in its care. If you have a loved one who lives in a nursing home who you suspect has been the victim of nursing home abuse and neglect, talk to Antin, Ehrlich & Epstein’s New York City nursing home abuse lawyers to ensure that they do not continue to suffer unjustly.

Nursing home abuse and neglect can take many forms, many of which can remain hidden for a long time. A facility may fail to provide the basic services for which it was contracted because of nurse negligence; the facility may abuse nursing home patients physically, emotionally, or financially because of nurse neglect; and improperly trained nurses and nursing shortages can lead to injuries, including bedsores, falls, improper medication and even wrongful death. Further complicating matters, nursing home abuse and neglect often goes unreported and unnoticed. The New York City nursing home abuse attorneys at Antin, Ehrlich & Epstein will help you determine if a loved one has been the victim of nursing home abuse and neglect, and our Bronx nursing home neglect lawyers will ensure that justice is served in court.
