Nursing home residents are guaranteed specific rights under the law, but are often victims of a loss of dignity and more than a few feel the absence of humane, loving care.

Nursing home residents’ rights are many and include, but are not limited to:

• The right to be treated with dignity and respect.

• You must be informed about in writing about services and fees before entering the home.

• You have a right to privacy and to keep your personal belongings and property with you as long as it poses no danger to yourself or others.

• You have the right to be informed about all medical care provided, medications administered, and the right to see your own physician. You also have the right to refuse medications and treatment.

If you suspect the rights of someone you care about are being violated in a nursing home or assisted living care facility, please contact the Druanne White Law Firm today serving Greenville, Spartanburg and Anderson, South Carolina.

Injuries Caused by Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

One of the most difficult decisions family members ever have to make is the decision to place an elderly or infirm loved one in a nursing home or assisted living care facility. Unfortunately, it is a fact of life that many older Americans will eventually require assistance in managing even the most basic needs of daily life and it is also a fact of life that many vulnerable older Americans will face neglect and abuse at the hands of their caregivers.

Understaffed and overcrowded nursing home and assisted living centers have given rise to incidents of emotional, physical and sexual abuse of the most vulnerable members of our families. A study has revealed that over one million elderly residents of nursing homes and assisted living centers suffer the consequences of abuse and neglect every year.

If you suspect a loved one has been the victim of nursing home abuse and neglect our attorneys at the Druanne White Law Firm want to hear from you today.

Please contact the Druanne White Law Firm serving Greenville, Anderson and Spartanburg, South Carolina, without delay.
