What to Do When Your Loved One Has Been Abused or Neglected
No one wants to put their loved one into a nursing home. Unfortunately, most people don’t have the resources to care for their loved ones at home.
The best nursing homes provide caring, compassionate service to the elderly. They also provide peace of mind to families who know their loved one is in good hands.
During such a difficult time for your family, nursing homes should be institutions you can trust. Unfortunately, that isn’t always the case.
It’s devastating to learn that the home you placed your loved one in has abused or neglected them. Let Hensley Legal Group help make things right.
Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
Manifests in Many Ways
Perhaps nursing home abuse is the type of harm you’ve heard horror stories about: staff yelling at residents, hitting them, or even sexually abusing them. Nursing home abuse isn’t exclusive to staff; other residents can abuse one another as well.
Nursing home neglect, though just as harmful, can fly under the radar. Moving residents frequently, feeding them, providing them with enough fluids – these are the everyday actions that, if left undone, can seriously harm residents. This is nursing home neglect.
Nursing home abuse and neglect can result in:
Bedsores
Malnutrition
Broken bones
Dehydration
Death
No one, least of all our elderly loved ones, should have to suffer from these symptoms. They should instead receive the medical care and personal attention they deserve.

Regardless of their mental or physical limitations, nursing home residents have rights. According to the Indiana State Department of Health, these rights include:
Right to freedom from abuse, neglect, and exploitation
Right to know about services and financial charges
Right to take part in planning their care and treatment
Right to refuse treatment
Right to confidentiality of records
Right to privacy
Right to control their finances
Right to freedom from chemical and physical restraints
Right to express grievances without fear of retaliation
Right to communicate freely with persons of their choice
Rights regarding admissions, transfers, and discharges, including the right to appeal
Right to know and exercise their rights

These rights exist to protect our elderly loved ones from nursing home abuse and neglect in the first place. Unfortunately, some nursing homes violate these rights.
I cannot recommend Hensley Legal Group enough. Following my car accident, I was overwhelmed by my injury and medical bills... From day one, their team handled everything, allowing me to focus on my recovery. They were communicative, compassionate, and always kept me in the loop... They secured a settlement that covered all my expenses and exceeded my expectations.

I was in an accident involving three totaled vehicles and ultimately one fatality. I’d never been in a situation like this before and didn’t know where to even start. So glad I called Hensley! They were so easy to work with and I’m sure got far more for me than I would’ve been able to get myself. They were kind, professional, and got the job done!
