Suspect A Loved One Is Being Neglected?
Contact The Law Office of Richard M. Kenny as soon as you have reason to believe that an elderly loved one is being subjected to any form of neglect, abuse, or forced drugging in a nursing home or assisted living facility. Perhaps your loved one was harmed through medical malpractice by doctors making rounds in the nursing home. Your loved one may not speak out about the situation unless you take action now. The victims of nursing home abuse are frequently afraid to discuss the matter, and unless you do something, the mistreatment may continue until it is too late.
