Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Taking Legal Action Against Nursing Home Abuse

North Carolina nursing homes are often managed by companies who aim to cut corners and make profits. In doing so, they can harm the very people they are paid to help — mothers, fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers who depend on nursing homes for their care.

At DeVore, Acton & Stafford, PA, attorney Troy Stafford leads our legal team in nursing home abuse and neglect cases at our Charlotte law firm. He knows that many injuries occur because doctors are not regularly on staff in nursing homes. Care of the elderly is left to the least paid — to certified nurse assistants (CNAs) who are often overworked, under-trained and underpaid.

Because of this, they cause severe and permanent injuries due to nursing home abuse and neglect:

• Bed sores/pressure sores/decubitus ulcers
• Malnutrition
• Dehydration
• Fecal impaction
• Urinary tract infection
• Broken bones/fractures
• Sexual abuse

Helping the Elderly and Their Families

Many attorneys take only cases involving injuries to working adults with families to support. They do this because these cases stand a better chance of being awarded high damages by North Carolina juries. But, at DeVore, Acton & Stafford, PA, we do things differently. We understand that the loss of a loved one — especially a grandparent, parent or child — is devastating to a family, so we take action to hold wrongdoers accountable for nursing home abuse.
