Consumer Class Actions Lawsuits
Elder and vulnerable/dependent adult abuse affect millions of people in the U.S. It occurs regularly in the community and in long-term care settings such as nursing homes and board and care homes/assisted living facilities.
In 2008, 3.2 Million Americans resided in nursing homes and this number is increasing exponentially. One study estimates that more than two-thirds of 65-year-olds will need assistance to deal with a loss in functioning at some point during their remaining years of life.[1]
Given the aging population and the need for care, it isn’t surprising that the nursing care market is expected to reach revenues of around $460 billion between 2019-2025. Yet, while business is booming, the disparity between cash and care is growing. A congressional report of nursing home records conducted over a two-year period showed that nearly one in three nursing homes were cited for violations that had the potential to cause harm, and almost 10% of all nursing homes have violations that caused actual harm, serious injury, or placed them in jeopardy of death.[2]
A survey of nursing home residents showed that up to 44% reported that they had been abused at some time in residency and nearly all of those surveyed (95%) had seen another resident neglected.[3]
Determining whether your family member is a victim of nursing home neglect or abuse can be difficult as many cases go unreported.
Bradley/Grombacher LLP is investigating potential class action lawsuits on behalf of anyone with a loved one in a nursing home who has been mistreated or was not provided with a sufficient standard of care.
