Is your loved one in a safe nursing home? Do you suspect your family member has suffered from abuse or neglect in a nursing home? Joe Dughman and Associates take nursing homes to court over abuse and neglect. We are not a call center nor a referral service. When you call my firm you will speak directly to my courteous staff who will take your information in a timely manner.

Unfortuneatly, surveys and eyewitnesses has shown nursing home abuse to be significant a problem in this country. Stressful environments, inadequate training, staff fatigue, and staff shortages have greatly contributed to this delemia.
