Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys Serving Augusta, GA
Standing Up For the Vulnerable
Nursing homes are meant to provide a safe place for our loved ones when we can no longer care for them. Nursing home abuse takes a huge toll on an individual and their family. After a nursing home abuse incident, your time is better spent caring for your loved one than worrying about legal concerns. That’s why we pursue every avenue of compensation to get justice for you and your loved one. We have 40 years of experience holding nursing home corporations and staff accountable for abuse and negligence of those in their care.

Augusta Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse Attorneys
You Could Be Entitled to Compensation For:
Physical Abuse
According to a study conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO), one in five nursing home residents will experience abuse.
Psychological Abuse
According to a study completed by the National Center on Elder Abuse, psychological and emotional abuse makes up over 33% of abuse at institutional centers.
Financial Abuse
Some nursing home staffers have even been caught pressuring residents to sign over their financial accounts; this is known as an abuse of power of attorney. It’s reported that a whopping $2.6 billion each year is lost due to financial abuse.
Neglect
This is the most common and most undetectable form of nursing home abuse. It is the failure of caregivers to meet the nursing home residents’ basic needs, including the provision of food, fluids, safe shelter, exercise, medication, and security. Neglect is the most difficult form of abuse to identify because it often does leave clear physical signs.
