Nursing Home Negligence

When loved ones, whether young or old, reach a point when it is necessary for their health and safety to have full-time care and medical attention, families often must turn to assisted living facilities such as “nursing homes,” “retirement centers,” or “group homes.”  Even when families search for the right facility and conduct a thorough investigation of its reputation, they ultimately must place a great deal of trust into the management to maintain the facilities and carefully hire, train, and supervise its personnel.  Most of these facilities provide quality care under good living conditions with competent, dedicated, and caring staff and medical professionals.  Unfortunately, sometimes management betrays a family’s trust and, as a result, the loved one is injured or worse.  Schulman & Kaufman understands the sensitive nature of these situations and knows how to treat them with the compassion and determination necessary to achieve resolution for family members and justice for the injured loved one.
