Nursing Home Neglect

The Manton Law Firm, LLC

Nursing Home Neglect Lawyer, Atlanta, Georgia

Nursing home neglect and abuse is a heartbreaking reality for many residents of nursing homes and long-term care facilities. These cases almost always share a few basic common problems: understaffed facilities that are more concerned with saving a few extra dollars than providing proper medical care, lack of oversight and supervision by the facilities’ administrators, or just an overall failure to diligently monitor the residents to ensure their basic care needs are being met.

Often, a nursing home injury (such as broken bones causes by falls, bedsores caused by failure to move or monitor a resident, dehydration, or malnutrition) or death resulting from such injury is traced back to preventable acts of negligence including the following:

• Use of unlicensed personnel and CNAs for tasks that only licensed nurses are qualified to perform
• Abuse or inattentive care
• Failure to do implement proper care plans that would prevent bedsores, decubitus ulcers, pressure sores, as well as nursing home falls that result in broken hips or other bone fractures
• Overdosing the resident on psychotropic drugs such as Haldol

One of the prime motivating forces of many of the clients of The Manton Law Firm, LLC is prevention of repeated neglect that might cause harm to future residents. Correcting faulty procedures to prevent future neglect and injury is just as important as monetary compensation to families of nursing home residents who are the victims of nursing home neglect and abuse. Pursuing a lawsuit cannot bring back those that have died prematurely due to the negligence of management or personnel at those facilities. However, these lawsuits can help bring about change, and hopefully prevent the same thing from happening to future residents and their families.

Attorney Jason R. Manton selects cases and clients carefully to allow for personal attention and detailed examination that are likely to bring about a just outcome.
