Experienced Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse Attorneys

As parents and loved ones grow older, we often look to nursing homes to care for our elderly family members. We expect them to provide thoughtful, competent care, but in some instances negligence and abuse can occur.

Nursing home neglect and abuse may manifest as physical or emotional neglect, emotional, sexual or verbal abuse or financial exploitation. Neglect and abuse are most often caused by staffing shortages, lack of training and experience or poor supervision, management and record keeping.

When it comes to your elderly loved ones, don’t hesitate to get them the justice they deserve. At Gingras, Thomsen & Wachs, we’ll fight to make sure they get compensation for any nursing home abuse or neglect.
