Scottsdale Nursing Home Negligence and Neglect Attorney / Arizona Elder Abuse Lawyer with offices in Phoenix and Scottsdale, Arizona.

Nursing Home Abuse Attorney Shane Harward recognizes that the number of our family members that require long term nursing home care is dramatically increasing. When a loved one is cared for by others in a nursing home setting, we expect competence, quality, kindness and concern. Unfortunately, the signs of negligence, inadequate care and serious nursing home injuries sometimes emerge and legal action must be taken to hold the nursing home accountable. Facilities are often understaffed or are willing to hire underqualified attendants, resulting in staff negligence of elder’s basic needs. And, sadly, in some cases, the nursing home staff is also guilty of intentional abuse and neglect which the nursing home knew or should have known about.

Nursing Home Abuse Attorney Shane Harward represents individuals and their families that have been victims as a result of mistreatment or negligent care by a nursing home, assisted living facility or long term care facility that we have entrusted to provide clean, safe settings and appropriate medical care for our loved ones.

Signs of abuse that you should be on the look out for in the nursing home setting:

  1. Unexplained injuries
  2. Bedsores
  3. Falls
  4. Dehydration
  5. Infections
  6. Bruises
  7. Malnutrition
  8. Poor Hygiene
  9. Altered Mental States
  10. Fearfulness
  11. Nursing Home Caregiver refuses to leave the elderly individual alone with visitors

In Arizona, persons who are employed to provide care to a vulnerable or incapacitated adult, or who assume a duty to provide care to a vulnerable or incapacitated adult, must be held accountable for causing or permitting the life or health of the vulnerable or incapacitated adult to be endangered or injured through abuse or neglect. "Abuse" is injury caused by negligent acts or omissions. "Neglect" is a pattern of conduct, without the person's informed consent, that results in the deprivation of food, water, medication, medical services, or other services necessary to maintain minimum physical or mental health. A "vulnerable adult" is a person, eighteen years of age or older, who is unable to protect himself from abuse or neglect by others because of a physical or mental impairment. An "incapacitated adult" is a person, eighteen years of age or older, who lacks sufficient understanding or capacity to make or communicate informed decisions concerning his or her person because of an impairment by reason of mental illness, mental deficiency, mental disorder, physical illness or disability, advanced age, or other cause.
