Kentucky Nursing Home Neglect Attorneys

One of the greatest trusts that we can impart to another individual or organization is the care of our elderly loved ones. Anyone who has ever had to place a family member in a residential nursing home or an assisted living facility (ALF) knows the fear that his or her parent, grandparent, et cetera will be treated with anything less than respect and dignity. Many Kentucky nursing homes do an outstanding job of protecting and caring for our elderly and disabled relatives, but if you’ve placed your family member in one that doesn’t, you may be entitled to compensation on his or her behalf. The Corbin personal injury firm of Freeman Childers, Attorneys at Law holds negligent nursing homes and their staffs accountable.

Attorneys Protecting Your Elderly And Disabled Relatives

The key to prevention of abuse and negligence is diligence. Some elderly and disabled individuals may be too frightened or embarrassed to report issues to their family members. If you notice a physical change in your family member, or observe a change in their behavior, it could be a sign of abuse or neglect. In many cases, your first step will be to report the issue to your local law enforcement agency. Whether you choose to take that route or not, you should contact a personal injury attorney at Freeman Childers to discuss other legal remedies as well.
