Nursing Home Abuse

North Carolina Nursing Home Neglect Attorney

Making the decision to place a loved one in a nursing home was likely a very difficult decision for your family. You expected that your loved one would be treated with dignity, respect, and proper care. Yet many elderly residents of nursing home care facilities are not treated with the care that is promised and that they deserve. If you have a loved one who was injured or lost due to the negligence of nursing home staff, contact R. Steve Bowden & Associates to speak with our experienced Greensboro elder abuse lawyers today.

North Carolina Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Through our experience representing families in nursing home abuse and neglect lawsuits and nurse malpractice litigation, we have found common problems that lead to infections, bed sores, medication overdose, inadequate nutrition, or other injuries of residents. These include:

• The nursing home is overcrowded
• The nursing home is understaffed - especially on weekends and holidays
• There are inexperienced workers
• The workers are under trained

We utilize nursing consultants and other experts to evaluate the issue for negligence, and one of our attorneys is also a doctor.
