The Peck Law Group, California's number one and soon to Be Arizona's premier Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Lawyers are advocating for more oversight of nursing homes in California, Arizona, and all over the United States..
Recently we were advised of one patient at an nursing home facility that had maggots in her trachea and another patient that had maggots on an open bed sore also known as a pressure sore and decubitus ulcer.These type of cases are specific examples and unfortunately are not isolated incidents or unique to any particular nursing home. Rather, they are indicative of a statewide failures to provide quality nursing care at all times and to protect nursing facility residents from harm says Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Lawyer Steven Peck.other incidents which we have litigated include, a skull fracture from a fall from wheelchair wherein the resident died three days later because of bleeding in the brain, another patient dying from injuries sustained in a fall from a wheelchair without foot pedals, and what seems like a typcial nursing home negelct problem of Elopement transpired when a resident was able to leave a nursing home facility and sat in a wheelchair on the side of the road and no staff members were disciplined.
Although elderly residents are awarded certain nursing home rights, some facilities, either unknowingly or intentionally, may violate these basic rights.
