Chicago, Illinois: The Law Office of Scott D. DeSalvo is pleased to announce the law firm focuses on nursing home abuse. The Chicago firm assists clients who have loved ones who were victims of abuse in a nursing home environment.
Since many people don’t know what to do when it comes to nursing home abuse, the firm educates clients on how to handle these difficult situations. The firm suggests the first thing is to visit a loved one in a nursing home once a week or more to establish a presence. This causes the staff to take notice and take better care of the patient.
If any abuse or neglect is suspected, the individual should file a formal complaint with the Illinois Department of Public Health by calling the Nursing Home Hotline at 1-800-252-4343. Once a complaint is made, the state of Illinois investigates the claim. This provides a nursing home lawyer with evidence to build a case against the facility. Even if the state finds no evidence of abuse, a valid case can be brought against the nursing home.
The third step an individual can take is to move his or her loved one to a different nursing home. This can be necessary for people who have multiple disagreements with the nursing home. Even after all steps are followed, Scott D. DeSalvo is available for free case evaluations.
