Discovering Abuse

Nursing home abuse is a frightening epidemic that is devastating families in Arizona and across the country. It is difficult to determine actual numbers of elders victimized by abuse, neglect and medical negligence because of inefficient or non-existent reporting systems, and the fact that only a very small percentage of abuse and neglect incidents are actually reported.

Many times, one report of abuse or neglect in a nursing home or long-term facility often reveals a pattern of abuse within the facility. An experienced Arizona Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer will be able to conduct a thorough investigation of the nursing home facility to determine if that is the case. If you discover signs of abuse or know that a nursing home resident is being abused or severely neglected, you must take action. Elder abuse is a crime that should be reported and stopped.

Nursing homes are regulated by the federal government under the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1987 (OBRA). Under OBRA, the Arizona Department of Health licenses and certifies the state’s nursing homes and long-term facilities. Facilities must comply with the uniform standards set by OBRA in order to receive Medicare or Medicaid funding. These guidelines were created to ensure the safety and protection of patients. Unfortunately, the system all too often fails to do so.

Abused senior residents are often called silent victims, because they are usually unable to report the abuse themselves. If your friend or loved one lives in a nursing home or long-term facility it is important that you visit the resident frequently and at different times of the day. Nursing home residents who do not have frequent visits from family and friends are at even greater risk of being neglected and abused.

Young & Wallin achieved an excellent result.  My father died due to neglect at a nursing home.  Initially my family was apprehensive about pursuing it and we waited for over a year before contacting the law office.  The facility kept stalling us with stories about an investigation, but never admitted any fault.  In less than six months, I received compensation for the suffering and death of my father, and I am very happy with the results they achieved for my family.

My husband suffered a stroke out of state and was transferred to a local rehabilitation facility.  He was only in facility for nine days and suffered neglect and injury from falls and the failure to provide the care that they promised us.  After contacting Young & Wallin, the facility immediately recognized their failure and agreed to compensate my husband for his suffering and injuries that he received.  We did not expect much, but Young & Wallin got a great result for us.  The staff and lawyers were very helpful and understanding throughout this process.

Young & Wallin is a great team to have on your side.  The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.  They were always available when I had questions and are ready to help.  I am very happy with the outcome that they obtained for our family.

I was referred to Young & Wallin and they were very helpful in repairing my case.  Another lawyer initiated my case but I felt that he was not providing me with good representation.  Mr. Young obtained my case and got me an excellent outcome.  The recovery I received was very fair.

Young & Wallin are a great team and are very knowledgeable and helpful.  They allowed me to have great input on my case and allowed me to be very involved with the process.  The nursing home abuse lawyers took time for my questions and always had good advice and counsel for me.  They made the whole process less stressful and it seemed manageable.
