Jared W. Buckley has been arrested with others after he reportedly slathered elderly dementia patients with ointment as a prank. However, in 2007, a complaint of misconduct was filed against Buckley alleging that he "failed to report several acts of physical and verbal abuse towards residents." He was then placed in a diversion program, but he still managed to find work in the industry although he shouldn't have been allowed.
We all trust nursing homes and caregivers to care for our loved ones who need extra help and they should be doing their jobs. With this, it is incredibly heartbreaking when a nursing home or person is found to be abusing those who they should be providing care for on a daily basis. It's important that you know that your loved one does not have to suffer and can hold the guilty party responsible for their careless actions of nursing home abuse. By contacting a nursing home abuse lawyer, you can pursue a case against the abuser and recover expenses for medical care and pain and suffering. A nursing home abuse attorney will always protect your rights while resolving this matter in a timely manner. If you or someone you know has suffered from nursing home abuse then you should contact a nursing home abuse lawyer to begin discussing the details of your case and moving forward to settle this unfortunate matter.
