Posted On April 24, 2017 Nursing Home Abuse
There comes a time in everyone’s life when we have to make difficult decisions regarding the day-to-day care of parents and other senior relatives. While most of us would prefer to care for our older loved ones ourselves, many of us don’t have the time or facilities to do so. If you’re looking for a nursing home for someone you care about, you’ll want to make sure that the facility you choose provides the kind of care you personally would.
This is important because of some shocking statistics—more than 2 million cases of nursing home neglect or abuse are reported each year in this country. It’s a staggering thought that anyone would mistreat someone old and vulnerable, but it’s a reality. When looking for a nursing home in the Long Beach area, we recommend using a crowdsourced review site like Yelp.com. A quick search on Yelp finds five nursing homes within Long Beach city limits that rank four stars or higher, including:
Even though these nursing homes have received good ratings on Yelp, we recommend checking them out thoroughly, including visiting the facility in person and checking to see if it has received any complaints or citations. If you choose a nursing home for a loved one, and later suspect that elder abuse or neglect has occurred, call Long Beach elder abuse attorney Travis Siegel for a free case evaluation.
