Nursing Home Neglect Attorney Addressing Injuries in Rockville, Maryland

Rockville is a thriving community in the heart of Montgomery County with a significant elderly population. As seniors transition into long-term care facilities, they deserve dignity, respect, and the highest standard of care. However, the unfortunate reality is that nursing home neglect and abuse issues are on the rise in Rockville and throughout the United States.

At Serafini Law, we understand the devastating impact that abuse and neglect can have on nursing home residents.

We believe in protecting the rights of nursing home residents, and we can help families address injuries caused by the negligence of staff members and facilities.

How Rockville's Nursing Homes Are Failing Our Loved Ones

Rockville is home to numerous nursing facilities that are tasked with providing comprehensive care to the elderly population. The increasing demand for elder care services has led to concerning trends such as understaffing in many nursing homes, a rise in reports of nursing home neglect, and widespread medication errors affecting nursing home residents. These issues represent real people—our parents, grandparents, and loved ones—who are suffering due to substandard care.

Types of Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse We Handle

Our experience spans a wide range of cases involving nursing home negligence, including:

• Emotional and Psychological Abuse: Staff members may engage in behavior that causes emotional trauma for nursing home residents, including yelling, cursing, ridiculing, or isolating them. These forms of abuse may not always be obvious, but they can be deeply damaging.
• Neglect of Basic Needs: Nursing homes may fail to provide the proper assistance with hygiene, nutrition, and medical care, causing patients to suffer harm.
• Physical Abuse: This form of abuse can range from rough handling to outright violence, and it can lead to serious injuries for nursing home residents.
• Sexual Abuse: Nursing home patients may be targeted for sexual assault or sexual exploitation because they may be unable to fight back or because dementia or other issues may prevent them from telling others about what has happened. This form of abuse is a horrific violation that demands swift action.
• Medication Mismanagement: Errors such as incorrect dosages or failure to provide medication at the proper time are common issues in understaffed nursing home facilities. Patients may suffer serious harm if they do not receive the proper medications.
• Fall Injuries: Lack of proper supervision or safety measures or failure to provide assistance when required can lead to dangerous falls that can injure nursing home residents in multiple ways.
