Resources for Nursing Home Residents
Nursing homes are a unique legal setting. Nursing homes are obligated to provide a special level of care and protection for each resident. In this section, we provide resources and links to information that you’ll need if a resident has been harmed due to neglect and/or abuse. There are several steps to take when dealing with elder abuse in Wisconsin nursing homes. You, as a resident, family member, friend, caregiver, volunteer, or advocate, need to know the steps you can take to report, remedy, and prevent elder abuse.
At PKSD, we advocate for families when nursing homes and long-term care facilities fail to provide the level of care required under Wisconsin law. If you suspect a loved one has been harmed, contact our Milwaukee nursing home abuse attorneys today at (414) 333-3333 for a confidential case review.
