Chester Law Group protects the rights of those injured or abused in Ohio nursing homes.

Nursing homes exist to provide care for our elders who are no longer able to live independently. Many Ohio nursing homes provide excellent care, but unfortunately many facilities are understaffed or poorly staffed and do not provide all the care, therapy and attention that residents require. Some facilities sacrifice quality for the sake of profit and convenience; others do not screen their staff and allow those with criminal records or inadequate training to work with residents. When a nursing home doesn’t provide quality care, its residents suffer. Nursing home neglect can lead to loss of dignity, loss of well-being, illness, injury and even wrongful death.

Victims of nursing home neglect and abuse are often called silent victims because they are afraid or unable to get the help they need. They may not know who to contact, they may be afraid of losing their home, or they may believe they have no rights. If your loved one is being cared for in an Ohio nursing home or long-term care facility, it is important that you be able to recognize the signs of nursing home neglect and abuse.

If your loved one shows any of the following signs of Ohio nursing home neglect and abuse, contact Chester Law Group immediately for a free consultation.
