Nursing Home Neglect & Abuse

When a nursing home or assisted living facility becomes the best option for a family member, we all do our best to choose a caring, skillful provider. Even so, you may arrive for a visit with a parent or other loved one, only to enter the nightmare of learning that the family member — utterly dependent on the facility for care — is being neglected or actively abused.

At LOWE & GRAMMAS LLP, with offices in Birmingham, Alabama, we know that injury to the elderly due to nursing home neglect and abuse happens all too often. In the worst cases, the abuse or neglect results in the tragic wrongful death of the elderly patient. Our attorneys work with investigators and medical experts to get financial compensation and to put a stop to the abuse or neglect. If you suspect a nursing home of negligence or active abuse, please contact us for a free consultation and evaluation of potential claims.

We Fight For Compensation and Better Treatment

The sad truth is that neglect or abuse of elderly or disabled adults has become more common in recent years. You can no longer entrust the care of your family member to a nursing home or assisted living facility without remaining vigilant and having to watch for early signs of a nursing home injury caused by neglect or abuse. Some warning signs include:

  • sudden changes in behavior
  • emotional upset or agitation
  • poor personal hygiene
  • unusually withdrawn or moody behavior
  • unexplained weight loss or begging for food
  • unsanitary conditions
  • bed sores or pressure sores
  • malnutrition and/or dehydration
  • unexplained bruises, broken bones or other injuries
  • lack of assistance with walking
  • inappropriate use of medications
  • wandering without monitoring by staff
  • lack of response to call bells or cries for help

If a family member in a nursing home has any of these injuries, contact the attorneys at LOWE & GRAMMAS LLP for a free consultation about your rights in an elder abuse case. We will aggressively advocate for the rights of your family member, for compensation on the patient's behalf and to put a stop to the harmful treatment.
