What's My Case Worth?
Nursing Homes
Gilpin & Keefe hopes you do not need an attorney to investigate or file a complaint against a nursing home. However, abuse does occur in our nursing homes and can result in bedsores, infections, falls, rape, battery, dehydration, malnutrition, sexual abuse, physical abuse, and poor medical care. You can take a close look at nursing homes before having one care for your loved ones. Please ask questions about the staff experience, the ratio of staff to residents, talk to other residents, make sure the facility is restraint free, and make sure you can visit easily.
While seeing your relatives and loved ones often is the best course to making sure the care is good at a nursing home, you cannot be there all the time. If you suspect that abuse is present, call a nursing home abuse attorney, report the problem to the New Mexico State Agency on Aging. There are federal regulation and state regulations for each nursing home to follow. We are here to help you report abuse and investigate any facility.
