If your loved one has suffered in a nursing home, you don’t have to face the system alone. We hold negligent facilities accountable when they fail to protect vulnerable residents.
Protecting the Elderly. Pursuing Justice.
Nursing homes are supposed to provide safety, dignity, and care—but too often, residents are neglected or abused by the very people entrusted with their well-being. At Parrish Law Firm, we represent families in Atlanta and beyond who suspect their loved one has been mistreated in a care facility. We investigate, gather evidence, and take action to stop the harm.
Signs of Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse
Some injuries are obvious. Others are hidden or explained away by staff. Common red flags include:
- Unexplained bruises or fractures
- Sudden weight loss or malnutrition
- Poor hygiene or bedsores
- Emotional withdrawal or fearfulness
- Medication errors or missed doses
- Repeated falls or untreated injuries
- Signs of sexual abuse
- Staff refusing visits or limiting access
If something feels wrong, trust your instincts and get a legal opinion.
Atlanta-Area Facilities We’ve Investigated
Families come to us with concerns about a wide range of long-term care homes, including:
- PruittHealth – Brookhaven
- Signature HealthCARE of Buckhead
- Sadie G. Mays Health & Rehabilitation Center
- AG Rhodes Wesley Woods
- Private memory care and assisted living facilities throughout Atlanta
We understand how these facilities operate—and how to uncover documentation they may try to hide.
Understanding Georgia Nursing Home Law
In Georgia, nursing homes must comply with both state regulations and federal care standards. Violations may involve:
- Inadequate staffing or supervision
- Failure to maintain hygiene and nutrition
- Neglect of medical needs or care plans
- Emotional or physical abuse by staff or residents
- Lack of fall prevention or response protocols
We file claims for medical costs, pain and suffering, and—in some cases—punitive damages to prevent future harm.
Let’s talk about your case before time runs out.
FAQs: Atlanta Nursing Home Abuse Cases
Can I sue a nursing home for neglect?
Yes. If your loved one was harmed due to negligence, the facility can be held liable through civil action.
What if the resident has dementia and can’t explain what happened?
You can still take legal action based on physical signs, witness statements, and staff records. We know how to build these cases.
How long do I have to take action?
Georgia law generally allows up to two years to file a personal injury claim—but it’s best to start as soon as abuse or neglect is suspected.
