Protecting the Rights of Nursing Home Residents
It is a difficult decision to move a family member into a nursing home. But there comes a time when around-the-clock nursing care is needed.
We trust nursing homes to keep our loved ones as safe, secure and healthy as possible. But all too often, nursing home residents suffer serious injuries because of nursing home negligence.

At The Law Offices of Joseph J. Cariglia, P.C., our attorneys stand up and fight for victims of nursing home abuse and neglect, including those who have suffered due to:
- Malnutrition
- Dehydration
- Bedsores/pressure ulcers/decubitus ulcers
- Falls
- Inadequate staffing
- Prescription errors
- Overmedication or undermedication
- Failure to provide medical care
- Failure to prevent wandering or elopement
- Unsanitary conditions
In cases of nursing home neglect, we must show that the negligence of the nursing home caused the victim to suffer harm. Did your family member fall out of bed and break a hip because the nursing assistant forgot to pull the bed rails up? Did a bedsore develop because your loved one was not repositioned every two hours?
Nursing home negligence cases must be reviewed by a medical tribunal to determine whether an accepted standard of care was breached. Once that determination is made, we will work to maximize the financial compensation our clients receive.
