Experienced North Carolina Attorneys for Assisted Living Cases
When an elderly or disabled person needs a safe environment, assisted living centers are often one of the first options for their families. These non-medical facilities promise high-quality care and needed guidance with activities of daily living.
These facilities have a strong profit motive to keep their beds filled and their number of residents high. Unfortunately, many do this at the expense of the health and safety of the people they are supposed to care for. Assisted living facilities often admit patients that require more care than the facility can legitimately give. The result? An increase in serious injuries, like falls, bed sores, infection and elopement.
At the Charlotte, North Carolina, law firm of Jackson & McGee, LLP, we represent the victims of injury and neglect in assisted living facilities. When we take your case, we take a team approach to creating results. We often work with well-respected experts, including private investigators, administrators, nurses and doctors.
Because assisted living abuse cases are often as much about holding corporate entities accountable as they are about medicine, we also consult with forensic accountants who specialize in the nursing home and assisted living industry and prevent companies from escaping financial responsibility for the harm they cause.
If you are unsure whether your parent needs to be in a nursing home or an assisted living facility, talk to his or her doctor. Ask for a professional opinion and for a referral to a reliable and safe facility.
