Unfortunately, nursing home and group home residents are often subjected to terrible neglect and abuse in many locations throughout the State of Michigan.  Not only are nursing home residents sometimes subjected to negligent treatment causing injuries but, on occasion, they are also intentionally physically and sexually abused.

Individuals placed in nursing homes often feel as if they have lost control of their lives.  They are robbed of self-esteem and respect in many cases because of the way they are treated when family members and loved ones are not around to protect them and make certain that they receive appropriate nursing home care. 

Oftentimes the aides in nursing homes make close to minimum wage and do not have a high level of training and education.  If your loved one is in a nursing home they are generally there because they cannot take care of themselves and, therefore, have to depend on others.  There are many rights that exist for nursing home residents; however, many of those rights are unknown to the residents and their family members.  Attorney James O. Elliott can assist you in asserting your rights and the rights of your loved ones who are living in nursing homes. He can also direct you to state agencies that govern the licensing of nursing homes in the State of Michigan.
