Nursing
home abuse continues to be a growing problem
across the nation, taking the lives and
well being of our loved ones. Choosing a
nursing home can be difficult emotionally,
but families should not have to worry about
instances of Texas nursing home abuse when
the home is supposed to care for our loved
ones. Nursing home abuse is any act, failure
to act, or incitement to act done willfully,
knowingly, or recklessly through words or
physical action which causes or could cause
mental or physical injury or harm or death
to a resident. Inclusive of abuse is, verbal,
sexual, mental/psychological, or physical,
corporal punishment, involuntary seclusion,
or any variation of the above mentioned.
Robert Steinberg is dedicated to representing
families of Texas nursing home abuse for
the personal injuries sustained.
It is important to notice
if there are any visible signs of Texas
nursing home abuse. Nursing home residents
are often the victims of horrible abuse
because they may have physical or mental
restrictions that leave them unable to communicate
what is going on. Some nursing home abuse
residents may have been threatened and fear
their safety.
If you recognize any signs
that nursing home abuse is present or are
suspicious it may be occurring, contact
us.

Nursing home abuse
has become so widespread in nursing homes
across the country leaving amazement and
disbelief with one in three nursing homes
cited for instances of nursing home abuse.
Nursing home abuse has become a growing
problem associated with under qualified,
underpaid, and understaffed nursing homes.
Some staff has a history of abusing nursing
home residents, yet they continue to be
hired by other nursing homes and receive
little to no punishment. Nursing home abuse
is a crime that must be stopped.
