Empathetic Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys
Danville, IL: Office | Visit Us
Nursing homes can be an invaluable resource to help care for elderly family members who need more time and attention than is possible for many caretakers trying to make a living, spend time with their spouse and children, and balance all the other responsibilities of daily life. When this difficult decision is made, we expect that these institutions will provide the utmost level of care to our family members. However, some nursing homes fail in this duty.
It is the responsibility of nursing home staff members to ensure residents are well fed and well hydrated, and failure to do so is a very serious form of nursing home abuse. If your loved one has suffered from malnutrition or dehydration at the hands of a negligent nursing home staff member in Danville, a personal injury lawyer at Spiros Law, P.C., may be able to help you file a claim seeking compensation from the party responsible. Call us today for a free case evaluation.
