Nursing Home Neglect Advocacy
Empathetic and Effective Legal Counsel for Ohio Families
When we place our loved ones in a nursing home or long-term care facility, we trust that they will be treated with the dignity, respect, and medical care they deserve. When that trust is broken through neglect or abuse, the consequences are often devastating.
At Braden Blumenstiel Legal Advocates Group (BBLAG), our mission is simple: Righting Wrongs and Protecting Futures. We provide a voice for seniors and families who have been harmed by the very institutions meant to protect them.
Understanding Nursing Home Neglect in Ohio
Neglect isn't always obvious. It often stems from systematic issues like understaffing, poor training, or a focus on profits over patients. Common signs that your loved one may be suffering from neglect include:
● Pressure Ulcers (Bedsores): Often a result of failing to turn or reposition patients regularly.
● Frequent Falls: Often caused by inadequate supervision or failure to implement proper safety protocols.
● Malnutrition and Dehydration: Indicators that basic needs are being ignored.
● Medication Errors: Including missed doses or over-medication for "chemical restraint."
● Unexplained Infections: Such as frequent UTIs or sepsis, often linked to hygiene failures.
● Elopement: When a resident wanders from a facility due to lack of supervision.
Why Choose BBLAG?
Nursing home cases are complex, involving both personal injury law and specific Ohio regulatory standards (Ohio Resident Bill of Rights). You need a firm that understands the intricacies of the law and isn't afraid to take on large healthcare corporations.
● Forward-Thinking Approach: We don't just look at the immediate injury; we focus on the long-term protection of your loved one's interests.
● Strategic Representation: We handle the investigation, expert consultations, and litigation so you can focus on your family.
● Empathetic Advocacy: Nursing home negligence is emotionally traumatic, not just for the individual subjected to the neglect, but for the individual's family and loved ones. In nursing home negligence cases, the physical injuries are only a portion of the damages sustained. Trust has been violated by the nursing home facility, and it is especially egregious because it is the elderly and/or infirm who suffer as a result of that neglect. The very people hired to protect your loved one are the ones causing the pain and suffering. There is a deep sense of betrayal. We understand those feelings, and we work diligently to obtain results which help bring a sense of vindication.
