Phoenix Attorneys Helping Victims of Nursing Home Abuse
Defending the Dignity of Residents in Arizona Nursing Homes and Long-Term Care Facilities
Nursing home abuse and neglect affects thousands of our nation's elderly and infirm each year — people who depend on long-term care facilities for the care they need.
In 2007, 97 percent of Arizona nursing homes were cited for deficiencies by the federal Office of the Inspector General. Most deficiencies related to quality of care and quality of life. About 20 percent of substantiated complaints in all nursing homes relate to abuse and neglect and about 15 percent of nursing homes were cited for violations that caused harm or placed residents in jeopardy of serious injury or death.
As bad as the statistics are, the fact is that many incidences of nursing home abuse and neglect go undetected or unreported. This is a tragedy. Not only does the vulnerable resident suffer, but he or she misses the opportunity to hold the nursing home accountable.
