A Voice For The Injured
In Central Texas
Seeking Justice For Nursing Home Abuse Victims
Nursing homes and long-term care facilities in Texas are governed by the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS), which strictly regulates staffing requirements, policies and procedures to protect the rights of residents. Unfortunately, nursing home owners and managing directors often take shortcuts in order to meet budget demands.
All of us trust medical professionals to have the knowledge and skill to care for us when we cannot care for ourselves. Sometimes, though, this trust is broken. If you believe a loved one has suffered from nursing home negligence or neglect, contact an attorney right away.
Nursing home injuries and neglect are far more common than most people think. This type of abuse happens because the victims are in the nursing home because they can’t take care of themselves, and many are even unable or unwilling to speak. They are some of the most vulnerable people in society — mentally, emotionally and physically, and the majority of nursing home abuse goes unnoticed or is unknown to the loved ones. We encourage you to be as involved and informed as you can about the loved ones who have been placed in these long-term care facilities.
