Medical Malpractice

Nursing Home Negligence

Unfortunately, negligence and abuse in nursing facilities cause serious harm. The attorneys at Donaghue & Labrum utilize the State and Federal Codes to prove negligence and obtain just compensation. We are committed to advocating for the rights of our seniors and holding accountable those responsible for their mistreatment and neglect.

Understanding Nursing Home Negligence

Nursing homes are meant to be places of comfort, care, and respect for our elderly loved ones. Sadly, some nursing homes fail to provide the level of care and dignity our seniors deserve. Nursing home abuse can take various forms, including physical, emotional, psychological, and financial mistreatment. This abuse often occurs due to staff negligence, inadequate training, and lack of proper supervision.

Common Signs of Nursing Home Negligence


  • Unexplained Injuries: Bruises, fractures, and cuts that cannot be reasonably explained.
  • Emotional Withdrawal: Sudden changes in behavior, withdrawal, or signs of depression.
  • Neglect: Poor hygiene, malnutrition, dehydration, and inadequate medical care.
  • Isolation: Residents being isolated or restricted from social interaction.
  • Unexplained Financial Transactions: Sudden changes in financial status, unauthorized withdrawals, or missing personal items.
