Nursing Home Abuse and Negligence

Nursing Home Abuse and Negligence

The oldest and wisest among us should be able to enjoy their golden years. Instead, too many of our friends and relatives in nursing homes are abused in uniquely harmful and humiliating ways, or they fall victim to accidents that could have been prevented.

Most nursing home operators and employees are kind, honest, and professional. The small minority that acts with malice or neglect can cause pain not only to the injured senior but also to family members.

What is nursing-home abuse?

Though many residents of nursing homes are loving grandparents and great-grandparents, the nursing home might view them as unruly children and thus treat them abusively. If and when younger family members — often the ones footing the bill — learn of possible abuse, neglect, or carelessness, nursing home administrators and staff sometimes shrug it off, attributing the “problem” to clumsiness or senility.

“The Jim Rochford & Associates law firm was extremely helpful in resolving a very difficult and sensitive situation in a federal lawsuit against a school. Tim Cushing served as the lead attorney, and worked closely with Jim Rochford. Attorney Nick Rochford also provided very valuable counsel. On a personal level, they were responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. They were also patient, always available to answer questions, and provided objective legal advice that I knew I could trust. Their attention to detail and knowledge of laws are unsurpassed. In addition, the firm has highly professional and helpful support staff, including Deb Rochford and Mary Thomas, and a network of specialized experts that they collaborate with to provide comprehensive legal solutions. After working with this law firm, I strongly recommend them to anyone needing an extremely responsive law firm that will work tirelessly to protect their clients’ interests. They are highly respected in the legal community, and I would trust them with any legal situation – personal or business.”

Appreciative Client

“Could not have asked for a better experience! Both the attorneys and staff were extremely professional in the handling of my case. They represented me on my worker’s compensation case that was from a summer job in another state. They helped me get a great settlement and it did not take very long either. I would highly recommend Jim Rochford as an attorney for anyone. One thing that stood out about him was I truly believe he always had my best interest at heart.”

Allie Caruso

“I am somewhat late in writing this but team Rochford went above and beyond my expectations while assisting me with my fathers estate after his passing. We unfortunately had a squatter in his home during covid which we were able to successfully remove with the assistance of Tim Cushing’s letters and the PCPD. They really made us feel like family and at no point did I ever feel they were seeking to take advantage of the situation for profit. I would gladly give 6 stars!”
