Allentown Nursing Home Negligence Attorney
Allentown Nursing Home Negligence Attorneys Standing Up for Vulnerable Seniors and Their Families
When an elderly person moves into a nursing home, the expectation from all parties involved–both the nursing home resident and their loved ones–is that the nursing home resident will be treated with a high standard of care. Indeed, the whole reason for the move is likely because it is believed that living in a nursing home will be better for the elderly person, and surely not worse. Unfortunately, nursing home negligence is a burgeoning problem in Allentown, and nursing home residents are often victims of this type of malpractice. If your loved one is a victim of nursing home negligence, our Allentown nursing home abuse attorneys at van der Veen, Hartshorn & Levin can help you.

What Is Nursing Home Negligence?
Negligence occurs in a nursing home when the nursing home or any of its staff members fail to exercise the proper degree of care that is owed to a patient. Examples of conditions and incidents that may be indicative of nursing home negligence include:
- Bedsores;
- Bone fractures;
- Slip and falls;
- Malnutrition;
- Deterioration in condition;
- Poor hygiene;
- Loss of weight;
- Mental illness, such as depression; and
- Unexpected or/and unexplained death.
Nursing home negligence may be the result of understaffing and a poor nurse-to-patient ratio. It may also happen simply because a nurse does not want to care for a patient – when negligence is intentional, it is classified as abuse. Sometimes, the negligence is the result of an institutional failure, such as a poor system for ensuring that all patients receive the medical care they need or are properly fed, bathed, etc.
