Giving youngsters a head start on life
Pro athletes, coaches give local teens lessons for on and off the field

Eighty or so boys and young men participated in a new football camp called Commitment 4 Change, which aims to teach children from ages 8 to 17 how to better play the game — and equip them with what they need to succeed both on and off the field. The five-day camp was organized by retired Atlanta Falcon Keion Carpenter and former Green Bay Packer Antonio Freeman, both Baltimore natives.

Maryland Nursing Home Negligence Lawyers

The statistics on nursing home and elderly abuse are grim. Conservative estimates state that one of three homes in America will be affected in some way by abuse of an elder relative while in a nursing home. With the elderly population growing rapidly, nursing home residents nationwide number over 1.6 million. Currently, there are over 17,000 registered nursing home and elder care facilities. This number is expected to rise to 5 million in the next three decades. Sadly, as the number of nursing home residents increases, so does the frequency of abuse. Our Maryland nursing home negligence lawyers can help you file a lawsuit against an abusive and negligent nursing home.

Have you or a loved one fallen victim to nursing home abuse in Maryland? If so, contact our Maryland Nursing Home Negligence Lawyers today!

Because of the projected numbers and the problems associated with those numbers, nursing home care has become an area of public and governmental concern. As with every medical and care giving facility there are state and federal regulations that govern the "duty of care" for nursing homes. Many nursing homes attempt to squeeze more out more profit and therefore are using under trained and unqualified help, which puts the facilities and their members at a higher risk of cultivating abuse and neglect. Not all types of abuse are physical and not all abuse results in visible injuries. Our experienced Maryland nursing home negligence lawyers can help you determine if your loved ones are being abused by a nursing home.

Common types of elderly abuse in nursing homes are:

  • Sexual Abuse
  • Neglect
  • Abandonment
  • Extortion
  • Psychological and Emotional Abuse
  • Physical Abuse

Families and friends of nursing home residents should be aware of the signs and indications of abuse. These include:

  • Any personal injury that cannot be promptly explained
  • Bedsores
  • Unusual bruises
  • Sexually transmitted disease
  • Out of the ordinary financial requests
  • Sudden changes in attitude or appetite

While these signs do not always mean there is nursing home abuse present, it is a good idea to investigate any unusual injuries or behavior in elderly people because nursing home abuse is growing at an alarming rate. If you suspect abuse, contact the Department of Social Services and then contact the Maryland nursing home negligence lawyers at Goldberg, Finnegan & Mester for nursing home abuse advice.
