Assisted Living Facilities Negligence— Our Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Lawyers Help Victims
Assisted living (or sheltered living) housing facilities are meant to provide those in need of special care with a safe, comfortable environment. As our Philadelphia, Pennsylvania lawyers know all-too-well, the negligence of seemingly well-run institutions can pose serious dangers. Assisted living facilities have been found to be much less regulated than nursing homes. This leaves open the possibility that you or your loved one could fall victim to the delayed diagnosis of disease, inadequate treatment, or even death, as a result of understaffed facilities and/or undertrained employees, facilities that are not kept to standard, or just plain neglect on the part of one or more staff members.
If you or a loved one have experienced neglect or abuse at one of the many assisted living facilities in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area, it is imperative that you contact Shrager, Spivey & Sachs to discuss your case.
Staffing Negligence — Assisted Living Housing Facilities
In a USA Today investigative report, nearly one in five assisted living facilities inspected by regulators in a number of states were cited for one or more staffing violations. Our lawyers in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area diligently fight for the rights of those who have been injured or killed and their families. Each of our attorneys at Shrager, Spivey & Sachs has the depth of experience required to seek justice for victims of neglect from sheltered care facilities that are more concerned about the bottom line than their residents’ welfare. Violations by negligent assisted living facilities can range from having too few staff on duty, to the staff that is on duty not being properly certified, to the complete abandonment of those they are supposed to care for.
Training Negligence — Assisted Living Housing Facilities
Records from states around the country have shown that staffing-related violations occur in a large number of assisted living housing facilities. At the firm of Shrager, Spivey & Sachs in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, our attorneys pride themselves in exposing these violations and helping victims obtain verdicts and settlements that punish negligent offenders and help ease the pain of their personal injury or their loved one’s tragic wrongful death. When a gap exists between the training that staff members of assisted living facilities receive and the training that staff members need to detect disease or save a life during a medical emergency, the facility’s administration needs to be held liable for their carelessness and negligence.
Discussing Your Case with Shrager, Spivey & Sachs
The responsibility of assisted living facilities is clear: provide housing in a safe and comfortable environment for individuals with special needs that require special attention. Our attorneys strive to hold those who provide unsafe sheltered living environments and inadequate care responsible. If you have been injured or tragically lost a loved one as a result of an assisted living facility’s negligent housing or medical care, contact the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania office of Shrager, Spivey & Sachs to discuss your case as soon as possible.
