Report: More Than 90 Percent of Nursing Homes Cited For Safety Violations

ADVERTISEMENTS

A new federal report found that nine of every 10 nursing homes were cited for violating federal health and safety standards last year. For-profit homes were more likely to have problems than other types of nursing homes, according to the report. Problems included infected bedsores, medication mix-ups and poor nutrition. About one-fifth of the complaints verified by federal and state authorities involved the abuse or neglect of patients.

Elderly people are entitled to basic safety, respect and dignity. If you or someone you love is a victim of elder abuse or nursing home abuse, you have the right to hold the abuser responsible in court. Finch McCranie, LLP has represented injured Georgians in elder abuse lawsuits and other personal injury suits since 1965. With our firm on the case, you can rest assured that you'll get the extensive experience and personalized attention you deserve. For a free consultation, call our Atlanta office today at 404 658-9070.
