Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse

Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse

As the population increases and the median age rises, more and more people will have to avail themselves of the services of a nursing home. Whether stemming from illness or injury, age or infirmity, there are times when the family cannot care for the ill or injured person and the services of a nursing home are required.

Unfortunately, incidents of nursing home neglect and abuse are becoming more common in our society. Nursing homes are often understaffed and the staff they have is poorly trained. Nursing homes, long-term caregivers, and assisted living facilities often place profits before patients. At James & Dreyer, in St. Peters, Missouri, our attorneys represent elderly clients and their families throughout Missouri. We represent clients in St. Charles, Lincoln, Warren, Marion, Montgomery, and Pike counties in nursing home neglect and abuse cases involving:
