When you put your parents or spouse in a nursing home, you put your trust in the workers there. You trust that your loved one will be safe, well fed, and accounted for. You trust that someone will be taking care of your loved one because you are no longer able to do that alone. Then, when something goes wrong in the nursing home — when your loved one is inexplicably hurt — that trust is violated. Nursing home injuries and elder abuse happen far too often. Because of the cost of health care, many long-term care facilities are understaffed and have overworked employees. Members of our team are committed to protecting your loved ones. Our attorneys help clients throughout Kentucky receive the compensation and justice they need after nursing home negligence or elder abuse. Potential Injuries from a Kentucky Nursing Home There are numerous symptoms of nursing home negligence and elder abuse.
