NURSING HOME / ELDER ABUSE
Nursing Home Abuse / Elder Abuse is perhaps one of the most under reported crimes in New York State. Our research indicates that the families and the victims of these crimes do not want to report the injuries for fear of being forced to move out of the facility or fear of reprisal from the facility or other people living in the nursing home. At times the nursing homes themselves might fail to accurately document incidents such as medicine mix-ups and injuries to nursing home residents for fear of Medicare penalties and license revocation from New York State. Our investigations have revealed that at times, incomplete patient injury information is presented to the family, to ambulances responding to nursing home emergencies and to hospitals treating these patients. Cornetta Investigations can work with law enforcement and attorneys to arrest anyone committing a crime against an elder, and to penalize any nursing facilities that cause, or look away from elder abuse. We work hard to stop the abuse and to help you and your loved ones. We can refer you to professionals and a pathway to receive the medical treatment and any financial compensation that your family deserves.
