Nursing homes are intended to provide a safe and supportive environment for elderly individuals who require assistance with daily living activities. However, in some cases, nursing homes may fail to meet these standards, leading to negligence and harm to residents.

Client’s case

A wheel chair bound woman was dropped and injured while being transferred with a hoyer lift when the lift’s strap suddenly broke.  The nursing home claimed proper protocols were followed with periodic inspections.  We believed otherwise.
