Nursing Home Negligence and Elder Abuse Lawyer

Ms. Dentice is passionate about protecting the rights of the elderly in our society. Family members place their loved ones in nursing homes because they are in need of specialized care. Likewise, individuals enter assistive living centers because they are in need of additional care.

There are both federal and state laws that govern how the elderly should be treated in nursing homes and assistive living centers. Ms. Dentice is familiar with these laws and is familiar with how the elderly should be treated in these facilities. She has worked with representative from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Department of Aging on her clients behalf.

Nursing home negligence cases can involve such cases as the failure to refer a health condition to a physician, the failure to provide appropriate physical therapy, occupational therapy or range of motion exercises, failure to turn a resident resulting in decubiti ulcers (bed sores), and failure to provide adequate assistance resulting in a fall. Cases can also involve outright abuse.

In situations in which a resident of a nursing home or assisted living facility sustains injuries or wrongful death as a result of lack of appropriate care, the resident (and often the residents family members) is entitled to compensation. Ms. Dentice has represented many residents of nursing homes and their families. These claims have involved serious injuries and death to elderly individuals. These claims have involved failure to appropriately diagnose and treat various medical conditions, falls, bed sores, infections and the development of contractures.

Angela has worked with many well-respected experts in the areas of nursing home administration (including directors of nursing), clinical nurses, gerontologists, family practice doctors and infectious disease doctors. These experts are needed to successfully prosecute these cases.
