Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Lawyer:
Nursing Home Abuse
Senior members of our society deserve to live safely and with dignity. Nowhere should that be more evident that in a nursing home or assisted living facility. Unfortunately, elder neglect and nursing home abuse are common problems. The negligence of nursing home administrators can often be traced to cost-cutting measures, measures that place profits ahead of patient needs. Do you know of a nursing home resident who has been injured as a result of abuse or neglect? You can help.
