You did a lot of research before you placed your disabled parent, spouse, or child in a nursing home or assisted living facility. The facility looked clean, and the staff seemed caring and competent. But after your loved one moved in, things took a turn for the worse. Perhaps your loved one suffered dehydration or malnutrition. They may have broken a hip, and you suspect they were over-medicated or left unsupervised. They may have developed bedsores that turned into sepsis because no one was paying attention. You may have seen unexplained bruises, even broken bones. When you voiced your concerns to the facility manager, your concerns were disregarded.
If you believe abuse or neglect is occurring in a Texas nursing home or care facility, call the Texas Department of State Health Services at 877-833-5966 to file a report. They will investigate the care home for health and safety violations and may fine the facility. What they cannot do is compensate your loved one for the injuries they’ve suffered, or your family for the premature death of a beloved parent, spouse, or child. For that, you need the help of a Texas nursing home abuse and neglect lawyer.
If you suspect your loved one’s injuries or premature death were the result of abuse or neglect, contact a personal injury attorney at Ted Lyon Law at 877-Ted-Lyon (833-5966). Your initial consultation is free. We have nine office locations for your convenience.
