Elder Abuse Law
Elder Abuse Law in Toledo, OH
When you help an elderly family member transition to nursing home or in-home care, you expect your loved one to be treated respectfully and compassionately. Unfortunately, all too often, caregivers do not live up to their duties, and even though nursing homes are required to abide by certain standards, they may still engage in activities that are considered illegal.
Protect Your Loved One
If the level of care provided by a nursing home or caregiver does not adhere to the law, you or your family member may have grounds to take legal action to put an end to any physical, emotional, sexual, or financial elder abuse.
