Do you suspect that your loved one is being neglected in the nursing home they live in? Have you tried to speak with management about their living conditions only to be ignored? You aren’t alone. Each year, thousands of nursing homes residents are abused and neglected. Thankfully, there are legal steps you can take to protect the mistreated.
The lawyers at Schuster Law are proud to represent nursing home residents and their families. We understand how upsetting it is to realize that the facility you've been paying thousands of dollars to care for a family member isn't providing the care promised. It's even worse when you discover that abuse has occurred.
Our legal team is well regarded in the local Philadelphia community because we are known for aggressively fighting to protect the elderly. We will be your voice in the courtroom, keep the pressure on the responsible parties, and use all of our available resources to help you fight for justice.
Elder abuse and neglect isn't frequently reported for a variety of reasons. First, elderly patients sometimes are physically unable to report the lack of care they are receiving. If they can, it's common for feelings to humiliation and fear to prevent them from speaking out. This is why you must speak for them if you suspect neglect or abuse.

Those who commit abuse and neglect in nursing homes certainly don't advertise their horrible behavior, which is why anyone with a loved one in a group or nursing home should be aware of the common signs that the care is substandard. This may include:
Bedsores are skin ulcers that occur because of unrelieved pressure, friction, or medication. Bedsores can be categorized in stages.
Bedsores are incredibly painful and can also result in a serious, life-threatening infection.
Nursing home residents are in these facilities because they need help with everyday tasks, including bathing and grooming. But this care needs to be provided not just because of "looks" or scent - daily grooming helps to prevent infections. Yet over and over, a look into nursing home hygiene shows that over 90% of employees don't always wash their hands, let alone provide the care that residents need.
The elderly often require a specific diet depending on their medication conditions. Not only do many nursing homes fail to provide adequate nutrition, but they also fail to help residents who need assistance to eat.
Common signs of malnutrition and dehydration include:
Even the best caretakers may struggle to help residents eat well because of the common issue of understaffing in nursing homes. For example, did you know that on average, a certified nurse practitioner must oversee as many as 15 residents during mealtimes?
If your loved one has bruises, cuts, or other injuries that they just can't or won't explain, or if they suddenly exhibit behavior changes, such as fear of a place or a person, abuse may be occurring.
In many instances, even when care is being provided, a medical mistake is made that can literally put a resident's life on the line. Common forms of medical malpractice in nursing homes include:
Medical malpractice frequently results in the need for additional medical care that a patient wouldn't have otherwise needed, treatments which are incredibly expensive.
"I contacted Schuster Law after my mother was the victim of medical malpractice in her nursing home. They helped me to protect her and get her the care she needed. "- Michelle B.

My husband and I were in a car accident and our car got t-boned. Andrew Valentin was the lawyer we chose to represent us. Andrew fought on our behalf with the other party's insurance company, making sure everything was made right. Between regular check-ins on us and follow through on the case, Andrew made sure we were well taken care of.
