Ohio Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers

According to statistics for Ohio, only two other states have more registered nursing homes than the Buckeye State. Unfortunately, a recent study conducted by the Kaiser Foundation found that 88% of Ohio’s 918 assisted living facilities were deficient in some way. While Ohio nursing homes and managed care facilities are highly regulated operations, serious lapses in care do occur. Too often, it is the elderly or disabled residents who pay the price for this deficient care. Residents can suffer painful bed sores, falls, broken bones, and even wrongful death when a nursing home is not properly staffed, or employees are improperly trained. Poor hiring practices can allow staff with criminal records to prey on the elderly. Poorly staffed nursing homes can even create environments where residents are physically or sexually abused at the hands of other residents. Because so much is at stake, victims of Ohio nursing home abuse require and deserve the help of a skilled team of attorneys that will aggressively fight to protect their interests. Our Ohio medical malpractice lawyers are able to collaborate closely with medical experts to prove these complex cases. The Ohio nursing home abuse lawyers at Wright Schulte aren’t afraid to take on the large nursing home chains, or their big insurance companies.
