When you choose a nursing home facility for an aging loved one, you do so with care, ensuring that the facility’s staff observes the highest standards.
Unfortunately, the elder care industry is a stressful and emotionally draining industry with a very high turnover rate. Even in the best of facilities, stress can lead to poor employee screening and failure to properly monitor vulnerable patients can result in serious injuries to elder residents.
In this episode attorney Frank Walker explains what you need to do if you suspect that a loved one is being or has been abused in a nursing home.
