Arizona Nursing Home Neglect Attorneys: Wandering
When nursing home negligence leads to the elopement (wandering off), of an elderly or vulnerable adult, you may have recourse under the law. At The Garcia Law Firm, with offices in Phoenix, we are experienced trial lawyers who take legal action when nursing homes neglect seniors.
Over the years, we have developed a reputation as the leading elder law firm in the Western United States. Our successes involve many multi-million dollar jury verdicts and settlements, including representation of the families of nursing home residents who have wandered off due to nursing home neglect.
When Nursing Home Neglect Leads to Wandering
Elopement happens differently in different situations. Sometimes nursing homes are negligent in failing to maintain working door alarms. Sometimes they forget to put on a WanderGuard. They may leave doors open or residents unattended for long periods of time.
The thing that is most difficult for families of these nursing home negligence victims is that many families choose the care of a nursing home because their loved one tends to wander off. They often trust nursing homes to provide better care than they could themselves — keeping a close eye on elderly parents and grandparents with dementia or Alzheimer’s. It is all the more devastating when nursing homes fail to keep them safe.
