Nursing home representatives usually assure family members that they will take great care of their loved ones. Unfortunately, many fail to deliver on this promise. Caregiver neglect and elder abuse occurs in nursing homes more frequently than many people realize, and despite federal and state regulations, serious safety violations still jeopardize the health and safety of senior residents every day.

Abuse and neglect claims against assisted living facilities come in many different forms. Some of the most common types of nursing home injury claims include but are not limited to:
Big business has taken over the nursing home industry, and profits have become more important than providing reasonable care. In fact, over 70% of facilities in the United States are for profit. Recent reports show that most facilities are cutting workers, wages, and benefits, which puts senior residents at increased risk of being hurt or killed.
Under-staffed and improperly equipped facilities are major factors in neglect and abuse. Sometimes, even good nurses are simply too busy to take care of all their residents. In other cases, stressed and disgruntled staff members simply disregard patient needs or intentionally abuse their residents. If you suspect this is the case, speak up and contact an attorney immediately! Your loved ones health and well-being may depend on it.
In the state of New Jersey, there is a two-year statute of limitations on negligence and wrongful death claims. This means that you must file a lawsuit within two years of the death or injury, or you will lose your right to file suit. Exceptions to this rule are very rare, so it is to follow the two-year limit closely.
This process of investigating a nursing home malpractice claim may include interviewing relatives, collecting medical records, and consulting with medical experts. Since the investigation process may require some time, you should consult with an attorney well before the statute of limitations deadline wherever possible.
The Medicare website provides information concerning the quality of nursing home care for all nursing homes in the US that accepts Medicare. This website can be a useful tool to help compare nursing homes based on their overall quality ratings. Some of the homes and assisted living facilities in Monmouth County include:
