5 Signs for Identifying Nursing Home Elder Abuse in Sacramento & Folsom CA

Elder abuse is any type of mistreatment that leads to the harming or death of an elder person. There are reportedly over two million elder abuse cases annually which include: neglect, sexual abuse, exploitation, emotional and physical abuse. With over 35 million individuals in the US that are age 65 or greater it is important to be able to catch the signs of elder abuse early before harm is done. 

As our population gets older more and more people are relying on nursing home care. Tragically nursing homes are short-staffed which is leading toward more elder abuse in the Sacramento and Folsom, CA areas. Our Elder Abuse Attorneys have included five signs that you can look for if someone you love is the victim of abuse:

  • Unexplained injuries that can not be accounted for.
  • Simple needs like food and cleanliness are not being met.
  • The Elder’s money or possessions are missing.
  • Nursing home staff have conflicts or fights with the patient.
  • Your beloved elder has a change in attitude or experiences depression.

We should always be looking out for these signs of elder abuse and quick to follow up looking into any circumstance you feel could be abuse. The Sacramento and Folsom Elder Abuse Attorneys at the Tiemann Law Firm want you to know that they are there to help you if you need to fight for the rights of your loved ones.

No one wants to have to hire a lawyer, but if you do. I prefer Tiemann Law. They helped a family member who was injured on the job, and the company did not want to compensate him even though, the injury occurred on the job on company time. Jelena was always professional in explaining the lengthy process of fighting a large corporation. 2 years later he finally is receiving the deserved compensation.

I was in a car accident a while back where I was injured and had to miss work for an extended period of time.  After nearly a year of fighting with the insurance company with no results and no progress, I met with Jelena Tiemann.  I couldn't have asked for a more responsive and supportive advocate.  We quickly reached a settlement and I finally was able to move from the stress and burden of feuding with my insurance.  I highly recommending meeting with Jelena if you're in need of a lawyer.

The Tiemann law Firm has been very good to me ever since I walked in the door. James and Emily have been very responsive and professional and make me feel comfortable when I start to freak out a bit. Accidents can be pretty stressful and I feel like they’ve gone above and beyond. I’m happy that keep me up-to-date on how my case is going. I appreciate that they make me feel like a priority and that they take my case serious. I have already recommend them to a few friends and family members. God forbid I get into another accident, but if I do, I know exactly where to come for help.

I was in a very bad/ major car accident I originally had an attorney who wasn’t trying to help me out much or take any of my calls so I called Tiemann and told them my situation. They made it an AWESOME and Smooth transition over to them and took on both cases I had. I just settled on my big case and am beyond great full. For them and their team! I highly recommend them. To add on to this a little On how much they will work with you, I moved to Montana in the middle of all Of this and it was not an issue!
