Carlisle Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys
Millions Recovered for Injury Victims in Pennsylvania Since 1922
Nursing homes should be places where elderly individuals are protected, cared for, and treated with kindness and respect. While this is often the case, unfortunately, it is not true across the board. There are elderly care facility staff members who abuse patients; others may endanger their patients through negligence. Our team at Handler, Henning & Rosenberg LLC stands up for injury victims and can provide the advocacy you and your family need at this time. If you are concerned about your loved one, don't wait to take action.
Statistics About Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect
Studies suggest that, across the U.S., 150,000 seniors are victims of nursing home or assisted living facility abuse every year. That equals almost 10% of all nursing home residents. No one wants to think about the possibility of elder abuse—it is a dark, frightening thought. Unfortunately, it is a reality you could be confronted with if someone you love becomes a victim of elder abuse.
Know the Signs of Abuse & Negligence
Do you have an elderly friend or loved one in an assisted living facility? Knowing the signs of possible abuse can help you protect him / her from a dangerous situation.
