The quality of care in Illinois nursing facilities has declined in recent years. Aging demographics and longer life spans have created a greater need for long-term care among seniors in the state. This has led to staffing shortages, poorly trained staff, mismanagement, and related issues. Industry consolidation and more facilities becoming "for-profit" entities have made matters worse, resulting in more and more cases of nursing home neglect and abuse.
At Mannarino & Brasfield, A Division of Schwartz Jambois, we have over two decades of experience successfully representing those who have been mistreated in nursing homes in Rockford and throughout Illinois. We understand the outrage family members feel when a facility they entrusted to look after their aging loved one betrays that trust, and we put our extensive experience to work to ensure that those responsible for nursing home neglect and abuse are held fully accountable.
Residents of long-term care facilities are exposed to numerous forms of abuse and neglect. Some of the most common issues we see include:
Nursing home neglect and abuse cases can be very difficult to pursue. Most often, there are multiple contributing factors, and facilities do everything possible to avoid responsibility for mistreating their residents. We have seen just about every issue that can arise in a nursing home setting, and we are able to quickly uncover important (and frequently overlooked) factors that might point to negligence or abuse. We also routinely call on top national and international health professionals to provide expert testimony that supports our findings. This puts our clients in the best possible position to obtain a positive outcome.
