Elderly citizens, particularly those in nursing homes, are a vulnerable population that can be susceptible to neglect and abuse. This unspeakable issue is more prevalent than one might think, and it’s important to understand its various forms, signs, and symptoms. In the state of New York, as well as on the federal level, numerous laws have been established to protect seniors and nursing home residents.
Nursing home neglect and abuse can take many forms:
It’s crucial to identify the signs and symptoms of nursing home neglect and abuse to intervene effectively:
The state of New York and the federal government have established laws to protect vulnerable seniors and nursing home residents. New York’s Elder Law, Social Services Law, and Public Health Law all have provisions to protect the elderly.
Specifically, New York’s Social Services Law 473-b establishes a hotline for reporting elder abuse, while New York’s Public Health Law 2803-c provides rights for nursing home residents, including the right to be free from abuse and neglect.
On a federal level, the Older Americans Act and the Nursing Home Reform Act provide protections for seniors, ensuring their right to be free from abuse, neglect, and exploitation.
When dealing with nursing home neglect or abuse, choosing the right attorney is crucial. An attorney should have extensive experience with elder law and nursing home abuse cases, a deep understanding of New York and federal laws, and a compassionate approach to representing your loved one.

I’m a 9/11 first responder, and I can honestly say that Parker Waichman made me feel like they had my best interest in my VCF case. Ms Candalino & Ms Viti are top notch in my book. I was constantly informed on the status of my case. I would definitely recommend Parker Waichman LLP to family and friends.
