Phoenix Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers

Welcome to the Phoenix Nursing Home Abuse and Elder Abuse Law Firm Attorney Resource and Information Page.

Many experts believe that because of the aging of our population, incidents of elder abuse and elder neglect will continue and most likely increase.  Fortunately, there are laws in place to protect seniors and other vulnerable adults.  In addition, elder abuse and neglect victims may also be entitled to financial compensation for pain and suffering.

While physical elder abuse is the most obvious to detect (i.e., open wounds, cuts, bruises, and broken bones), emotional elder abuse and elder neglect are not so obvious.  Seniors who are emotionally abused sometimes will become extremely withdrawn and non-communicative.  Signs of emotional abuse include being unusually upset or agitated and rocking.  Signs of elder neglect include extreme weight loss, dry and/or cracked lips, and bed sores.
