Elder Neglect & Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer Colorado
Neglect & Abuse Is Never Acceptable
As our population ages and becomes too difficult to care for at home, more and more people are moving into Colorado nursing homes and assisted living facilities. While there are a number of good long-term care facilities, unfortunately, all too often we hear about people being subjected to poor conditions and even outright abuse or neglect in these facilities. Reinan Law\’s professional Colorado nursing home abuse and neglect lawyers can help you get justice for yourself or your loved ones.

The fact that you or your loved one may have experienced these issues in a nursing home or assisted living facility does not necessarily mean that abuse or neglect has occurred. However, if there is not a reasonable explanation for the development of an injury or serious change in physical or mental condition, it may be worth exploring with the help of a Colorado nursing home abuse and neglect lawyer. Also beware that there are a number of occurrences that Medicare.gov has identified as “never events,” including the development of a Stage IV pressure sore in a care facility.
