Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse Lawyers in Fort Wayne, Indiana
When loved ones enter a nursing home, we expect that they will be given the medical care and treatment they need and that they will be treated with dignity and respect. Many nursing home residents suffer from dementia or serious physical ailments and cannot care for themselves. When nursing home residents suffer elder abuse at the hands of those meant to care for them, this is called nursing home negligence. Not only is it unconscionable, it is also against the law.
