Protecting Nursing Home Residents from Neglect & Abuse
The Skolnick Weiser Law Firm: Fierce Advocates for the Elderly and Vulnerable
Nursing home neglect and abuse are not merely unfortunate lapses in care—they are serious violations of fundamental rights. The Skolnick Weiser Law Firm is committed to protecting elderly and vulnerable residents who are harmed by unsafe conditions, substandard medical care, and systemic failures within nursing homes and long-term care facilities.
When families entrust a loved one to a nursing home, they are placing that individual’s health, dignity, and life in the hands of the facility. We take that responsibility seriously. Our firm acts aggressively when facilities fail to meet accepted standards of care, whether due to understaffing, poor training, indifference, or prioritizing profit over patient safety.
We understand how devastating neglect and abuse can be—not only physically, but emotionally and financially. Our role is to stand between negligent facilities and the people they harm, holding them accountable and protecting residents’ rights.
