For friends and family members, making the decision to put an elderly loved one into a nursing home is often a difficult and painful choice to make. This is a stressful time for everyone, and it is natural to feel anxiety and apprehension when you turn over the care of a loved one to someone else.
Of course, you want to know that your decision is for the best, and want to believe that you are placing your mother, father, sibling, or spouse in excellent hands. While many nursing homes provide safe and reliable care for their clients, others do not. Each day, thousands of violations take place in nursing homes across the country. From minor incidents, to egregious legal, moral, and ethical violations, wrongdoings happen every day – and many go unnoticed or unreported. Fortunately, New York residents have the chance to change those statistics with the help of New York-licensed attorney Valerie J. Crown.
