Our Retirees in Long-Term Care Facilities Deserve Proper Care

The growing post-retirement age population in Arizona and throughout the U.S. deserves the same vigilance and respect that each of us would want for our own parents. The current substantial increase in nursing home neglect is unacceptable. Patton Law Practice lawyers are well qualified to investigate and pursue real solutions to wrongdoing occurring in extended care facilities including the following:

• inadequate care, including failure to oversee, failure to turn elderly or disabled patients who cannot move themselves, failure to deliver medication on schedule, failure to address in a timely manner complications such as irritation under skin flaps which, if left unattended, may lead to staph infection or the need to amputate limbs

• bedsores (ulcers, pressure sores) caused by failure to turn elderly or disabled patients who are unable to move themselves

• falls resulting from inadequate application of established safety measures

• dehydration exacerbated by elderly people's diminishing awareness of their own thirst

• infections including sepsis (infection of the blood) caused by lengthy exposure to body waste

• altered mental states such as confusion, lethargy, or somnolence caused by medication errors, stroke, or other medical problems which have gone unnoticed by caregivers

• unexplained injuries, including bruises, abrasion, and complaints of pain
