Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys in Little Rock, Arkansas

Nursing Home Negligence

When your loved one is living in a nursing home, you expect them to receive proper and compassionate care. When they need help, they should receive it. This includes basic hygiene, clean clothing and bedding, healthy meals, and a lot more. You certainly should not have to worry about your grandparent, parent, or loved one being neglected or abused. Unfortunately, you do need to worry. Nursing home neglect and abuse often stems from facility budget cuts, an underemployed staff, and many other essential law requirements. Issues such as this can prevent workers from fulfilling their job requirements and providing the critical care promised by the nursing facility’s admission contract.

Our personal injury attorneys know how devastating it is to learn your relative is not being properly cared for. We’re here to help you rectify the situation and hold the negligent facility responsible. Call us today or contact us online to schedule a free consultation as soon as possible.

Trust Our Decades of Experience Standing Up Against Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse

Most nursing home residents totally rely upon the responsibility of nursing home employees to provide food, water, medicine, bathroom assistance, daily hygiene care, physical therapy, and personalized medical attention. It is imperative that residents receive that care to sustain their quality of living and is a detriment to their care if not fulfilled.

State and Federal law requires Arkansas nursing homes to provide each resident with the highest level of physical and psycho-social well-being. Yet many Arkansas homes regularly fail to meet state minimum staffing requirements. A nursing home that fails to meet minimum staffing requirements, will most likely not be able to provide the required level of care that your loved one needs and deserves. It is not a surprise that some of the most profitable nursing homes in Arkansas also provide some of the worst care.

Nursing homes can hide the quality of care that is provided through marketing schemes and false advertising, but Ludwig Law Firm knows the truth. Although nursing homes are highly regulated by state and federal law, it takes an attorney who knows these regulations to be an effective advocate.
