Connecticut Nursing Home Neglect Attorneys
A nursing home is designed to provide a safe, caring, and comfortable living environment for its residents. An increasingly large number of the elderly are now residents of nursing homes or assisted living facilities. In addition, many disabled individuals are now admitted to nursing homes for rehabilitative care.
The Connecticut nursing home abuse lawyers of Tooher & Wocl L.L.C., are representing a growing number of elderly individuals who have been injured by the abuse or neglect of nursing home staff. While in a nursing home, the elderly are entitled to be treated by competent and compassionate health care professionals. Contact a Connecticut nursing home neglect attorney at Tooher & Wocl to schedule a free consultation.
All too often, in order to maximize profits, nursing homes hire unqualified or poorly trained staff. Sometimes, the nursing homes do not have enough personnel on duty to care for all the needs of their patients. If a nursing home patient is injured because of poorly trained aides, or if a patient is injured because not enough staff are on duty to care for the needs of the elderly, a medical malpractice claim may exist.
Nursing homes are regulated by both federal and state law. These laws protect the rights of patients and regulate the quality of care to be provided to nursing home patients. A nursing home patient is entitled to well trained, compassionate, and skilled care. A patient does not have to sacrifice the quality of their life or their dignity when they are admitted to a nursing home.
