Nursing Home Negligence

Massachusetts Nursing Home Abuse and Negligence

If you're concerned about the treatment of an elderly parent in a nursing home or assisted living facility, contact the Greater Boston nursing home negligence lawyers at Kenney & Conley for a free evaluation of your case. Our attorneys are familiar with the regulations and licensing standards binding upon nursing homes, and we know how to enforce the rights of residents to be free from neglect and abuse.

Inadequate training, improper employee screening, short staffing, and inconsistent supervision can lead to dangerous conditions in nursing homes. Among the problems that we can investigate and present for compensation are the following:

• Inadequate nutrition or hydration
• Mistakes in prescription medication
• Allowing patients to wander the halls or grounds unattended
• Falls from bed or in shower rooms that result in fractures
• Bedsores and pressure sores
• Unsanitary conditions
• Failure to protect patients from violent or sexual assault

Our investigation of a nursing home negligence claim will include a review of the facility's licensing and complaint record. Incidents that appear to be isolated accidents can actually reflect a pattern of poor supervision and administration that can make serious or fatal accidents almost inevitable. Our attorneys take care to establish through documentation, expert testimony, and lay witnesses a clear link between license or regulatory violations and the damages suffered by the victim of neglect.
