Bergen County nursing home injury lawyer Lawrence M. Simon represents victims of both abuse or exploitation and neglect amounting to mistreatment in residential care settings. Examples of abuse include physical or sexual assault, excessive restraint, or mishandling the patient's finances or confidential information.

Examples of nursing home negligence include inadequate or insufficient care resulting in such injuries or conditions as:

• Severe bedsores
• Serious infections
• Falls from bed or while walking without assistance or supervision
• Illnesses caused by malnutrition or dehydration
• Poor sanitation resulting in vermin infestations
• Improper dispensation or monitoring of prescription medications

Elderly persons, mental patients, Alzheimer's patients, and the developmentally disabled are highly dependent for their safety and dignity upon the employees and administrators of assisted living facilities of many kinds. If you believe that an elderly parent, developmentally disabled child, or convalescent relative has suffered from abusive or negligent conditions in a nursing home or group home, contact a New Jersey nursing home negligence attorney at the Law Offices of Lawrence M.
