SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES AND PATIENT NEGLECT
Government records show that close to 90% of California’s Skilled Nursing Facilities ("SNFs") fail to meet the legally-mandated staffing levels. When you consider the types and severity of nursing home abuse that result from this kind of neglect, as well as the problem of under-reporting by patients about their own homes’ conditions, you will agree that this is an alarming situation that demands immediate and aggressive legal intervention. That’s where we can really help.
Our law firm investigates all claims of nursing home understaffing brought to us, but we cannot address the problem in these homes without your help, so contact us! Current or former residents may bring suit, free of charge, against a facility failing to provide adequate patient care, as can the people who have paid for SNF services for another person. To determine if your facility, or the facility of someone whom you support, has violated these staffing laws, we urge you to contact us immediately, before more harm is done, for an absolutely free consultation. You may also submit your claim in complete confidence below.
