Nursing Home Negligence in the Kansas City Area
Nursing home residents can suffer abuse and neglect at the hands of the people who are supposed to be taking care of them. We help family members obtain better care in the future by obtaining compensation for the abuse and neglect their loved ones undergo. Abuse is found in the form of intentional wrongdoing such as battery or sexual assault. Neglect occurs in the form of malnutrition, dehydration, falls, and bedsores. Anyone who suspects abuse or neglect should call the Elder Abuse Hotline through the Department of Health and Senior Services at 1-800-392-0210.
