Nursing home neglect and abuse in New Jersey is a tragic but all too common occurrence. Seniors are often neglected or mistreated by their caregivers leading to serious injury or wrongful death that curtails the golden years of their lives. You loved one shouldn’t suffer because a nursing home has made a business decision to cut the resources needed to promote the health and welfare of its residents.
If you suspect neglect or abuse, it is important to call an experienced New Jersey lawyer. Nursing home abuse is the willful or reckless infliction of an injury, confinement, intimidation or punishment that results in harm, pain or mental distress. Nursing home neglect happens when a nursing home’s caretakers, nurses and administrators provide poor quality care or fail to provide basic necessities. In either case, a nursing home injury attorney can investigate whether your loved one’s injury or death was caused by improper care. If so, the victim and possibly his loved ones are entitled to be compensated for the harm caused.
Nursing home lawyer, Brent Wieand, can help. Call him today at 1 (215) 666-7777 for a free and friendly consultation. He will take the time to speak with you and investigate whether your loved one received proper care. If his investigation uncovers abuse, Brent will zealously advocate for your rights.

Signs of Neglectful Nursing Home Care
The most common cause of serious injury to seniors residing in nursing homes is falling. Elderly residents often fall due to muscle weakness, poor eyesight and cognitive issues. A fall can be devastating to fragile seniors who are more susceptible to breaking bones and traumatic injury. Most falls are preventable and can be avoided if proper help and supervision is provided.
Other preventable problems that commonly occur in nursing homes include:
- bedsores which may require painful debridement, lead to sepsis or amputation of a limb or appendage,
- dehydration and malnourishment,
- medication errors causing serious injury or death,
- bruises, burns and broken bones.
If your relative is suffering from one of these conditions, call personal injury lawyer, Brent Wieand, today. Their health and safety may depend on it.
