Videos Answer Questions About Elder Abuse Cases

With the aging of America more and more people are less able to take care of themselves and their affairs. In most situations, family, friends, for profit corporations and social organizations provide the care and guidance that elders need and deserve. However, when friends and relatives cannot provide adequate care, and the elder cannot provide for himself, the decision may be made to place him or her in a nursing home or assisted living facilit. Unfortunately, in a growing number of cases, elders are being abused, physically, emotionally and financially while under the care of a nursing home or assisted living facility. In addition, elders may be abused in their own home by hospice employees or assistance nurses.

Recognizing the growing tide of Elder Abuse in California, the State of California enacted The Adult Civil Protection Act to give extra protection to elders. Also recognizing the vulnerability of elders and the growing incidence of nursing home neglect, BISNAR | CHASE has taken on the social responsibility of representing abused and neglected elders in cases involving nursing homes and assisted living establishments. We have successfully represented thousands of injury clients, recovering tens of millions of dollars over the years. We thrive on helping victims of personal injury bring wrongdoers to justice. We give the best legal representation to achieve results.

Nursing home abuse falls into two categories, intentional harm and neglect. The intentional harm includes physical attacks, sexual assaults, emotional abuse and financial abuse. Neglect includes failure to provide for basic needs which can result in dehydration, malnutrition, medication overdoses, falls, infections, bedsores, pressure sores, skin ulcers, decubitus ulcers, osteomyelitis, septicemia and gangrene.

Nursing homes must:

  1. Care for the residents in such a manner and in such an environment as will promote maintenance or enhancement of the quality of life of each resident;

  2. Provide services and activities to attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, psycho social well-being of each resident in accordance with a written plan of care. The plan should describe the medical, nursing and psycho-social needs of the resident and is to be periodically reviewed and updated;

  3. Conduct a comprehensive assessment that describes the resident's capability to perform daily functions and significant impairments.
