Reading, PA -- (SBWire) -- 11/22/2019 --When families place a loved one in a nursing home, they do so with faith and trust that the facility's staff possesses the qualifications, experience, and compassion necessary to provide proper care. Unfortunately, some families later find that their trust has been betrayed, and their loved one has suffered physically or mentally — maybe even died — due to neglect by the staff.

Pennsylvania law sets clear standards for nursing home care and protects the rights of nursing home residents. When those standards aren't met or rights are violated, families may be entitled to compensation.

The legal professionals at Liever, Hyman & Potter, P.C. help victims of nursing home neglect pursue legal action to hold neglectful nursing homes accountable for substandard care. The law firm has a successful track record handling medical malpractice cases in Berks County, and the firm's attorneys have won six-figure settlements on behalf of families whose loved ones have suffered pain, injuries, or other negative consequences of nursing home neglect.

Liever, Hyman & Potter, P.C. encourages families to be vigilant regarding their loved ones' well-being while in the care of a nursing home. The common warning signs of neglect or abuse can include unexplained changes in mood, sudden weight loss, bedsores, bruises or cuts, and repeated falls. Any noticeable difference in how a loved one is behaving or in his or her physical appearance should be reported to nursing home staff immediately, but it helps to consult with a legal professional who can advise on the proper course of action should problems persist.
