Sacramento Elder Abuse Attorneys

Sacramento Elder Neglect Attorney

Criminal Negligence Regarding the Elderly in Sacramento, CA

As a person grows older, they will begin to require more and more care and attention. In most cases, the family and loved ones of the elderly person will take care of them in their own home or, if need be, place them in an assisted living or nursing facility. The desire is usually to provide the patient with loving and attentive care on behalf of their physical, mental and emotional health. However, it has become more and more common for families and medical professionals to commit elder abuse through neglect and lack of proper care.

Consequences of Elder Neglect

Respect for the elderly has decreased more and more, resulting in carelessness and indifference regarding their care. Nursing home abuse is quite common, especially in facilities that are understaffed. Even families of older persons can be guilty of neglect. Without proper care, an elder could suffer malnutrition, dehydration, falls, bedsores, and much more. As the family or friend of an elderly person, it is your responsibility to make sure they are not abused or maltreated at home or in a nursing facility. If you suspect such treatment, get legal counsel and representation from a Sacramento elder neglect attorney today.

  • $875,000 Abandonment Case

    Through exhaustive investigation, we found that our client’s death was not the result of a few isolated mistakes by care-givers.
