Scottsdale, AZ Elder Abuse Lawyers & Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys
Experienced Nursing Home Neglect Attorneys in Scottsdale, AZ
Picking a nursing home or assisted living facility for a loved one is a major decision. You likely tour several facilities in search of the one that looks like it will provide the best possible care. Once you make a decision, you trust that the facility will deliver on its promises.
But if you start noticing things that don’t seem right, like bruises that can’t be easily explained or a change in your loved one’s mood, it can raise questions. If you’ve reached this point, it’s worth sitting down with an elder abuse attorney who understands how to get answers and take action.
From Desert Mountain and Pinnacle Peak to McCormick Ranch and Old Town Scottsdale, we’ve met with many families across Scottsdale who’ve been in your shoes. Our legal team has helped them sort through the uncertainty, uncover what’s really happening, and hold facilities responsible when care falls short.
