Nursing Home Law
Strong, Martin & Associates, PLLC, takes seriously the rights of all senior citizens. We believe the wisdom and courage of America's current generation of seniors deserves special consideration and care. We are therefore strong advocates for quality care for seniors in nursing homes. Abusive, negligent and intentional acts which impact or injure our senior citizens are unpardonable and unconscionable. There is no forum, judicial or otherwise, where the attorneys of Strong, Martin & Associates will fail to stand for the rights of America's senior citizens.
State laws for nursing home care usually mirror federal counterparts because the traditional standard of care for the nursing home industry is based on federal law. A violation of a state nursing home code should also be a violation of federal laws. If a nursing home is qualified under Medicare, the applicable governing statutes should be federal statutes.
Generally, a violation of a state or federal nursing home code which leads to an injury to the resident is actionable under a negligence theory if the injury is serious and damages significant. It is sometimes difficult, however, to determine the extent of the negligent act or which section of the state or federal code was violated. (For an explanation of negligence please see the NEGLIGENCE section.) Should you believe nursing home negligence has occurred to you or a loved one, contact Strong, Martin & Associates at 1-866-859-7500 or e-mail us. We will be pleased to discuss this matter with you.
