Nursing Home Neglect
Many families pay for elderly loved ones to stay in nursing homes or other assisted living facilities because they require constant care and attention. Families trust that assisted living facilities will provide adequate care and safe environments for their loved ones every day, and millions of people benefit from these living situations. However, sometimes assisted living facilities fail to give their residents the attention they need and subject their residents to neglect. Neglect can lead to serious injuries and even death if it persists over a long period of time.
If your loved one has suffered from nursing home or assisted living facility neglect, he or she may be entitled to financial compensation. The Harrisburg nursing home abuse attorneys of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., are dedicated to helping victims of nursing home abuse seek justice and compensation for their injuries.

Dangers of Neglect
Many older residents in nursing homes are unable to care for themselves, and as such, neglect in these facilities can result in:
- A lack of necessary medication or medical care
- Slips, trips, and falls
- Altercations with other residents
- Bedsores
- Broken bones
All of these conditions are unhealthy for those living in nursing homes or assisted living facilities, and if left untreated, can result in long-term disability or even death.
