Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Helping The Helpless

When we make the hard decision to entrust our elder and infirm family members to the care of skilled nursing facilities or nursing homes, they have an obligation - and we have a right to expect - that those facilities will take care of our family like family of their own.

Yet all too often, that doesn't happen. Bedsores develop from neglect. Personal possessions are stolen. Medications are over-used, or under-delivered. Improper restraints replace patient, loving handling. Doctors aren't consulted by nurses. Facilities are understaffed, or have chronic problems that are never addressed.

Worst of all, for people who have raised and loved their families, served in our wars, built our country and who have worked their whole lives, dignity is everything, even if they've lost some faculties. They deserve to be valued as the most important people in our society.

When they aren't, it's not just a breach of the contract, or a betrayal of the family, it's a betrayal of who we are as a society.

Law Offices of Kevin M. Costello, P.C. litigators are experienced in using the State Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse Act, and applicable state and federal regulation and standards, to hold accountable those facilities which break the sacred trust given them by neglecting - or abusing - our loved ones. We have the experts, the resources and the skills to make such places pay for what they've done.

We handle these matters on a contingent basis. If there's no recovery for you, there's no payment for us.
