Garfield NJ Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse Litigation

When you or your loved one is admitted as a resider to a Nursing Home there is an assumption that treatment will be appropriate and dignified. The treatment of some of the most vulnerable members of our community is so crucial that the New Jersey legislature enacted the Nursing Home Reform Act supplying that every nursing home occupant has the right to be treated with dignity and regard, free from maligning and inattentive activity.
According to the Federal Government, more than 1.5 million people live in nursing homes every year throughout the country. When companies pick to own and operate a nursing home it comes with the liability to do it properly. This means appropriate staffing, establishments, training and medical coverage. With the altering landscape of our population and longer life span, nursing homes are no longer places where the infirm go to die. The owners now must operate facilities with a certain level of expertise, staffing, training and centers that are focused on the requirements of the population it serves.
The care provided to individuals at nursing homes by those used at times result in triggering physical, mental or psychosocial harm. In some cases the harm is triggered by intentional acts, and in some cases the harm is the result of negligence. Nursing home malpractice is a extensive, growing form of abuse both locally and nationwide. There is also reason to think these instances of neglect and abuse are under-reported.
