If you suspect someone you know is subject to nursing home neglect or abuse, it is important that you speak up on your loved one's behalf. Although many nursing homes do provide loving, responsible care, in other institutions, nursing home administrators put profits ahead of the welfare of patients and residents.

At Brown, Rowland, Babb & Campbell we are committed to protecting senior citizens from elder abuse and neglect. If you would like to speak with an experienced attorney about nursing home neglect, call 937-318-1529 or e-mail our office to make arrangements for a free consultation and case evaluation.

There are many kinds of injuries that can occur to a resident that is abused or neglected while staying at a nursing home, including bruising, malnutrition, dehydration, gangrene, bedsores, fractures, severe weight gain or weight loss, physical deterioration, broken bones, unexplained injuries, and sometimes death. Abuses that have been known to occur at nursing homes include neglect, beatings, abandonment, mental abuse, physical abuse, sexual assault, verbal abuse, inappropriate drugging, and unreasonable restraint.  Do not assume that your family member or friend is hallucinating or that the complaints are due to dementia or paranoia. If you suspect that negligence caused an injury or a nursing home resident is the victim of abuse it is your responsibility to discuss the case with an impartial third party.  Please call 937-318-1529 or contact our office and see that the rights of the elderly are protected.
