Signs of Elder Neglect & Misconduct

Are you concerned that your family member has suffered abuse in a nursing home or an assisted living facility? Many elderly people require special care and are more susceptible to injury, and families who choose to place a loved one in a nursing home generally do so in the expectation that the facility will provide a safe and comfortable environment. There are unfortunately many cases on record of nursing home abuse, either due to the understaffing of the facility or out of an individual employee's cruelty.

If you believe that your loved one is being abused, you need to seek experienced legal representation as soon as possible. Our Jacksonville nursing home abuse lawyers at The Law Offices of Jason K.S.
