FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Torrance, California, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) January 26, 2011 --January 2011 Los Angeles, California--- Attorney Michael P. Ehline, or Ehline Law Firm, Torrance, CA, believes it is pertinent to enlighten families with elderly members about elder abuse and nursing home negligence. This has become a serious problem that nursing homes, long care facilities and their staff should be held responsible for their actions.

The elderly deserve respect, but all too often that is not the case, they are victims of neglect and abuse at the hands of those entrusted to care for them. The Nursing Home Reform Act of 1987 states that all residents in nursing homes are to receive quality care and live in an environment that improves their physical and mental health. They should be free from neglect, abuse and misappropriation of funds. While this act was put in place in 1987, the fact remains elderly residents can suffer abuse at the hands of their care takers.

The fault falls on both the staff member and the nursing home, which should be screening and require proper training of their staff members before they are hired. This can result in serious injury or even death of the elderly nursing home resident. The abuse they can suffer can be physical, mental or neglect of care. In some cases the form of abuse can be improper diet, liquids and personal care.

The family of the elderly nursing home resident might see changes in their loved one’s appearance, a mental or emotional change. When there are possible signs of elder abuse the senior citizen need their rights protected by a personal injury attorney who specializes in elder abuse injuries like brain injuries, bedsores and wrongful death, for example.

Attorney Michael P. Ehline is dedicated to protecting the rights of the elderly from elder abuse and neglect. As a former active duty Marine he fights for justice for the innocent victim and believes that elderly nursing home residents should be treated with respect.
