California Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers
People move family members into nursing homes and assisted living facilities out of concern for the safety and well-being of their elderly relatives. Residents pay a steep price for around-the-clock nursing care in a facility equipped and staffed to provide for the needs of the elderly.
Yet, thousands of vulnerable, elderly residents of these facilities suffer from nursing home abuse and neglect every year.

Our attorneys have represented a nursing home resident with Parkinson's disease who, because of inadequate security, was allowed to leave the facility and became lost. We also obtained damages for an elderly wheel chair bound resident whose caretaker did not set the brake on the chair. It rolled down a hill and crashed. The elderly resident, who did not have the use of his arms, was unable to stop the chair.
Failure to prevent falls and bedsores are among the most common and deadly types of nursing home abuse, elder abuse, dependent adult abuse, or negligence. An injury from a fall or a bedsore can cause the health of a physically fragile nursing home elderly resident to deteriorate quickly. At Rouda, Feder, Tietjen & McGuinn, we firmly believe that the lives of the elderly are valuable and that those who cause them injury and wrongful death should be held accountable.
