When you were determining which nursing home facility was best for your aging loved one, you made that decision knowing that it would probably be the last place your loved one would call home. Understandably, you want this final chapter in life to be one of comfort and dignity, which is why you chose the facility you did. Now you suspect your loved one has suffered neglect or abuse, and you don’t know what to do. At Berg Injury Lawyers, we know what you’re going through.
