Many victims of nursing home neglect or abuse are not fully aware of what is happening to them. Others may be too scared to speak up.
These are some of the signs of nursing home neglect and elder abuse:
If you think that a family member or loved one has suffered from abuse or neglect, it is up to you to take action. You should contact the Louisiana Office of Elderly Affairs at 866-632-0922 who will investigate in Shreveport.
Then call Jacqueline A. Scott & Associates at 318-746-5997 toll-free.
An attorney at our firm can evaluate the situation. If it appears that your loved one has suffered abuse or neglect in a nursing home or other institution, we will act to stop it from happening.
We will also begin to develop a legal case that could result in compensation for your loved one’s pain and suffering. Our attorneys will collect information and records and conduct our own investigation. We will document the injuries your loved one suffered and how they occurred.
Jacqueline A. Scott & Associates will work to maximize the compensation you receive — and put nursing home operators on notice that abuse and neglect in their facilities cannot be tolerated.
