Injuries in Assisted Living Centers

Phoenix Attorneys for Assisted Living Center Injury

Many vulnerable elderly people are injured each year in Arizona assisted living centers. At Solomon & Relihan, we hold these centers accountable for the injuries they cause. For more than 30 years, we have been dedicated to protecting the rights of our clients. We continue this dedication with each and every case we take on.

Assisted living centers offer a different level of care because their residents are usually thought to be more independent and capable of taking care of themselves than residents in nursing homes. Assisted living facilities do not provide skilled nursing care and, although they may claim to provide constant supervision, they often leave residents unsupervised for long periods of time.

Residents in assisted living centers typically are "private pay," which means the facility receives more money from the resident than Medicare or Medicaid/AHCCCS/ALTCS would pay for the same services. This gives assisted living centers a tremendous incentive to keep residents living at the facility. Sadly, this often occurs after an elderly person's condition has deteriorated to the point that they need more serious care from a nursing home.
