Your Questions

When you decided to put your loved one in a New York nursing home or assisted living facility, it was likely a decision that was not made easily. Research, facility visits, and discussions with care providers probably consumed much of your time until you arrived at the decision of the best place for your family member. You trusted the facility and its staff to care for your loved one with respect, compassion, and diligence. However, it seems that is not the case, as your loved one’s health is declining and he or she has unexplained bruises and bed sores. What now?

Our knowledgeable and skilled attorneys will offer you compassion, understanding, and sound counsel to guide you through the investigation of your loved one’s residency conditions and further legal action if negligence is found.

A Matter of Rights

Patients in nursing homes have the following rights:

• The right to access information about the facility and its services; to contact the state’s ombudsman (a person who assists patients who have complaints), and advocacy groups; and to view the state survey reports on the facility.
  
• The right to participate in their care, receive adequate care, be informed of their medical condition, participate in treatment and discharge planning, refuse medication and therapy, be offered alternative means of treatment, and review their medical records.
  
• The right to select their physicians and participate in facility and community activities as well as resident councils.
  
• The right to privacy and confidentiality as well as access to entities and individuals providing health, legal, social, or other services.
  
• The right to be treated with dignity, respect, and consideration and to have freedom from mental/physical abuse and physical/chemical restraints.
  
• The right to security for their possessions.
  
• The right to voice any concerns or complaints without fear and to have these grievances resolved promptly.

When these rights are infringed upon by the nursing home and its staff, your loved one likely has a viable New York nursing home abuse lawsuit.
