What Is Happening in Nursing Homes?

Today’s nursing and retirement homes function much like any other service industry. In order to keep costs down, many nursing homes are filling to capacity while remaining understaffed. Many staff members receive the minimum training necessary to provide elderly individuals with care. Additionally, there is a high turnover rate, adding to the instability of nursing homes in Wisconsin.

How Patients Are Affected

When nursing homes are operating under such conditions, patients suffer. The number of nursing home negligence cases grows each year. Victims suffer physically and emotionally, and an unfortunate number of residents suffer wrongful death each year due to negligence.

Nursing homes need to be held accountable for substandard care. Our attorneys are committed to fighting for the rights of nursing home negligence victims and their families. We have handled cases in the past having to do with negligence in the form of:

• Bedsores

At Herrling Clark Law Firm, Ltd., we believe it is our duty to represent those who cannot defend themselves. Nursing home residents who have experienced neglect or abuse are truly innocent victims. We are committed to giving these individuals a voice and preserving their rights.
