Jamesburg NJ Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse Lawsuits

When you or your loved one is admitted as a resider to a Nursing Home there is an assumption that remedies will be appropriate and dignified. The treatment of a few of the most vulnerable members of our community is so important that the New Jersey legislature enacted the Nursing Home Reform Act providing that every nursing home inhabitant has the right to be treated with importance and respect, free from harassing and unmindful actions.
According to the Federal Government, more than 1.5 million people live in nursing homes every year throughout the nation. When companies pick to own and operate a nursing home it comes with the responsibility to do it properly.
The care provided to citizens at nursing homes by those employed at times result in causing physical, mental or psychosocial harm. Often the damage is caused by deliberate acts, and sometimes the damage is the outcome of neglect. Nursing home malpractice is a prevalent, growing form of abuse both locally and nationwide. There is also factor to think these circumstances of overlook and abuse are under-reported.
