Why Choose Our Nursing Home Neglect Attorneys in California

It is not easy to transfer an elderly relative to a nursing home for fear that the level of care they receive will be inadequate or that they will be a victim of nursing home neglect. It is emotionally difficult to cope up with the fact that your elderly loved one will be dependent on individuals you do not know and that you do not necessarily trust.

However, when the time comes you need to move your elderly relatives to a nursing home or skilled nursing facility (SNF) where professionals would care for them. It is natural that you expect the best care and consideration from the facility you entrust with their care.

In the last decade, there have been many cases where staff members of a skilled nursing facility or nursing home were involved in elder abuse. In a survey, it was concluded that every one out of three nursing home facilities have been involved in elder abuse due to neglect in the past.

If you suspect that a loved one suffered emotional or physical abuse, or even death, all due to neglect on the part of a nursing home facility, you should first report it to the California Department of Public Health at www.cdph.ca.gov/certlic/facilities/Pages/LCDistrictOffices.aspx.

"We represent the same kind of victim, those people who are injured as a result of elder abuse and neglect and because we do one thing, we do it really, really well."

Anthony Lanzone, Founding Partner

Client Testimonials

“"I contacted Lanzone Morgan, LLP regarding neglect suffered by my mother at a rehabilitation facility. My initial contact was with Emily. She is very professional and compassionate. I immediately felt I was in the right place. She took the time to listen and made me feel that the number one priority was my mother and seeking justice for her. This was confirmed by Mr. Morgan. Not only is he very knowledgeable, but he took a human approach to our case and allowed us to make the best decision for my mother. I highly recommend their services. They will protect the interests of your loved one."”

“Learning that my mother was dying of Alzheimer's was devastating on its own. The emotional toll of the disease, treatment costs, and learning who to trust with her care was exhausting. When that trust was breached by a memory care facility, resulting in her death, I hired Lanzone Morgan, LLP, to ensure that my mother's memory would not be marred by one facility's negligence. This firm was empathetic, informative, and patient with my family and me during the entire litigation. With their help, we received a fair settlement from the memory care facility and most importantly, a sense of justice and peace, which brought dignity to my mother's life and our memory of her.”

Signs Of Nursing Home Neglect

“Neglect” means the failure of a caregiver to provide food, shelter, clothing, medical services, or health care for the person unable to care for self; or the failure of person to provide these needs for self as result of mental or physical inability. (Any conditions, which fall under this definition, are considered as abuse due to neglect.)
Nursing home abuse due to neglect can be confirmed if you see the following or related symptoms:

Bedsores
Dehydration
Malnutrition
Sexual Abuse
Physical Abuse
Infections
Incorrect or overdose of medication
Lack of diagnosis or treatment

While no amount of money or compensation can make up for the trauma your loved one faced, you should still take legal action against the responsible person so that this does not happen again. You can contact a nursing home neglect attorney at our law firm to help you and the victim get justice!
