Nursing homes are meant to be havens of safety and respite for those who cannot take care of themselves due to age or health conditions. Oklahoma City sees many of these cases, often due to staffing shortages across many OKC area facilities, from Moore to Midwest City.

In 2017, it was noted that about 1.2 million senior individuals needed nursing home care. By 2030, that number is expected to increase to 1.9 million. In Oklahoma, the Nursing Home Care Act allows the residents of nursing homes or their guardians to file a legal claim against the facility if they violate their residents’ rights.

The moment you think your loved one is suffering from abuse or neglect by the very people who have sworn to care for them, you need to speak with an attorney.
