Nursing Home Residents Have Rights
When you trust the daily and ongoing care of your loved one to a Long Beach nursing home, you expect them to be treated with dignity and respect.
According to New York Department of Health guidelines, your loved one is entitled to:
- Dignified, individual care
- A secure living environment
- Privacy during personal treatment
- Freedom of choice in daily activities
- The right to make their own decisions
- Professional care without discrimination
- Possession of their money and personal property
In addition to these rights, your loved one has the right to exercise or demand their rights without fear of retaliation. If these rights were violated in any way, our team will help your family seek financial compensation from the responsible party.
How We Fight Back Against a Violation of Your Loved One’s Rights
Our goal is to hold the facility accountable for your losses. If your loved one suffered any form of abuse in their nursing home, our team will help you show the extent of the abuse and identify the responsible party. When we start building your lawsuit, we will work to prove the at-fault party’s neglect by:
- Interviewing (in a manner consistent with ethical rules of conduct) nursing home staff and residents
- Examining your loved one’s medical records
- Speaking with your loved one about the abuse
Do not Run Out of Time to File
New York Civil Practice Law and Rules (CVP) §214 limits your time frame to seek financial compensation by filing a nursing home abuse lawsuit. Complying with the state’s filing deadline is critical because if the statute of limitations expires:
- You will not be able to file a compensation lawsuit at all.
- Your lawsuit will be dismissed without ever being heard.
- You will not be able to compel compensation from the at-fault parties.
The sooner our team at Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. gets involved, the more time we have to conduct a thorough investigation and ensure compliance with the statute of limitations.
