Nursing Home Abuse

North Carolina Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer
Serious injuries – serious help.

Nursing homes and other types of care facilities are designed to provide round-the-clock care for individuals who cannot independently care for themselves. Unfortunately, these types of situations can make it easy for a staff member, care giver, or other resident to take advantage of your loved one. At the law office of Mako & Associates, our lawyers understand the seriousness of nursing home abuse and neglect cases. We strive to ensure the security of your loved one before proceeding with a case against the alleged perpetrator or negligent facility.

The following is a list of some signs that your loved one may be experiencing nursing home malpractice or assisted living neglect. However, these factors do not always indicate abuse or neglect, but should be investigated further to determine the nature of the care that is being given.

• bedsores or stiff / frozen joints
• sudden behavioral changes
• unexplained physical markings (cuts, bruises)
• over-medication
• changes in estate planning documents

We understand your desire to keep your loved one safe and well cared for. Our legal team aggressively pursues compensation for the injuries your loved one has suffered in a nursing home. If criminal charges must be filed, we cooperate fully with other legal agencies that are filing formal charges against the perpetrator of the crimes.
