Why Is An Attorney Necessary For This?

When physical abuse in a nursing home is discovered, the facility will likely deny that any abuse took place, and they may actively obstruct an investigation. Your nursing home physical abuse attorney will:

Work to obtain all evidence necessary to prove their liability, including medical records, facility records, photo evidence, and more.
Handle all negotiations with the defendant’s legal team in order to secure the compensation your loved one needs.
Have the case ready to go to trial if the other side refuses to offer a fair settlement.

What Does Elder Physical Abuse Look Like?

The majority of nursing home employees are good people, but there are some bad ones out there who physically abuse residents under their care. Physical abuse can take many forms, including:

Using physical restraints on a resident to keep them in bed
Punching or striking a resident
Throwing objects at a resident
Pushing an elder or pulling them roughly

Physical abuse is almost always covered up by the perpetrator, and the abuser often threatens their victim with more violence if they tell anyone. Sometimes, an elderly person is unable to communicate with their loved ones that abuse is happening.

When signs of abuse are discovered by family members, nursing home staff often say that an “accident” occurred. Loved ones should always look for the signs and symptoms of abuse, which can include:

Unexplained bruises or marks
Mood swings in the abused elder
Sudden fear of certain staff members
Malnutrition or dehydration

In Anaheim, there are several facilities that are responsible for the care of the elderly, including:

Anaheim Crest Nursing Center
Anaheim Healthcare Center, LLC
Anaheim Terrace Care Center
Buena Vista Care Center
Coventry Court Health Center
Harbor Villa Care Center
La Palma Nursing Center
Leisure Court Nursing Center

Parkview Healthcare Center
Sun Mar Nursing Center

Choosing the right nursing home for your loved ones is a personal (and tough) decision. It is something you must decide on your own, or with the rest of your family. With that in mind, however, there are a few resources you can use to help with the decision.
The Health Facilities Consumer Information System provided by the state of California lets you search for different types of health facilities, including nursing homes. The Medicare website also provides a tool for finding nursing homes.
The Health Facilities Consumer Information System also lets you search for complaints against said facilities. You can use this tool to check on any homes you might be considering and see if complaints have been filed against them.
Remember, if you suspect any form of elderly abuse or negligence has occurred, trust your instincts and call us at Siegel Law. 562-414-5294
Pressure sores, also called bed sores and pressure ulcers, are a common sign of nursing home abuse or neglect. They are caused by unrelieved pressure on the skin. Bed sores typically appear near areas where the bones are close to the skin: the hips, back, elbows, and ankles. When pressure sores first show up, they’re just skin irritation. With prompt treatment, they typically have no lasting effects. When not treated quickly, however, later stages can result in serious damage not only to the skin but also to muscle and bone.
The greatest tragedy of pressure sores is that they are relatively easy to prevent. Regular movement of a person restricted to a bed or wheelchair can help avoid pressure sores. Someone who must remain in bed should be moved about every two hours. The use of a pressure-reducing mattress can help. A proper diet, cleanliness, and daily exercise all help prevent pressure sores and eliminate the serious harm that can accompany them.
The answer is no. Siegel Law takes all cases on a contingency fee basis, which means that our clients owe the firm nothing for expenses unless they are awarded a monetary settlement or we receive a favorable verdict at trial. All expenses will be deducted from the settlement or jury verdict. Not a dime will be taken out of your pocket.
