Los Angeles Elder Abuse Attorney Says Too Many People Are Dying Undignified Death In Long Term Care Facilities

Neglect levels in California’s long term care facilities as well as facilities all over the United States are “scandalous”. Thousands of residents have died of dehydration, malnutrition, infected bed sores, Clostridium difficile and MRSA says Los Angeles Nursing Home and Neglect Attorney Steven C. Peck.

It is also feared the totals may be higher because care home residents who die in hospital are not included in the statistics.

The fact that people are dying from these sorts of causes is absolutely shocking in the 21st century.

These people in our care homes will have seen a lot in their lifetime. For them to be treated in that way is nothing sort of scandalous.

Figures suggest that more than 20,000 people have to sell their homes in California every year in order pay for residential long term care fees.

While there are excellent homes it is simply unacceptable that people still die undignified deaths from wholly avoidable causes says Van Nuys, California Elder Abuse Attorney Steven Peck.
