Riverside Nursing Home Neglect Attorney and Riverside Elder Abuse Lawyer

When a loved one enters a nursing home because they are elderly, chronically ill, or in need of rehabilitation services, we place an enormous amount of trust in the facility and their staff. We trust that the staff and the administration will treat our loved one with respect and just as we would treat them ourselves. We expect that our loved one will be cared for compassionately during this time in their life. Unfortunately, our trust sometimes is betrayed.

The founding Partner at the Riverside Nursing Home Abuse Law Firm of Young and Wallin, attorney Michael Young, is a former nursing home defense attorney and knows how to deal with the Riverside nursing home insurance companies to get you and your family the best possible results.

While there are a number of nursing homes in Riverside County who employ attentive and caring staff, there are some that do not. Unfortunately, it is sometimes very difficult to tell one from the other. Underpaid and poorly trained staff sometimes fail to pay adequate attention to the needs of nursing home residents throughout Riverside County, and some even go as far as abusing, and/or neglecting the residents. All too often, elderly nursing home residents in Riverside who are abused or neglected do not speak out. They are afraid of what might happen. It is important for these residents to understand that the law is on their side and that they have the right to be treated with dignity and respect.

There are signs of nursing home abuse and neglect that family and friends of nursing home residents in Riverside should watch for. They include:

• Unexplained injuries, including bone fractures, broken bones, and skull fractures
• Unexplained fear or suspicion of a particular caregiver
• Unexplained venereal disease, or vaginal or anal bleeding
• A caregiver's refusal to allow you to see the patient alone
• A sudden change of behavior and personality
• Extreme withdrawal and non-communication or non-responsiveness
• Emotional upset or agitation
• Bruises, black eyes, welts, lacerations, and rope marks
• Broken eyeglasses
• Bedsores
• Dehydrated and/or malnourished
• Laboratory findings of inappropriate medication
• Unattended or untreated health problems
• Hazardous or unsafe living conditions (e.g., improper wiring, no heat or air conditioning)
• Unsanitary or unclean living conditions (e.g., soiled bedding, fecal/urine smell, inadequate clothing)
• Sudden and unexpected death
