Attorneys for Patients Mistreated at Manor Court of Peoria

Family members who place a loved one in a nursing facility are often unaware of the increased potential risk of the resident developing a facility-acquired pressure sore (bedsore, pressure ulcer, decubitus ulcer). The skin wounds are typically caused by prolonged pressure on the resident skin where it comes into contact with the wheelchair or bed. Without proper treatment, a small insignificant bedsore can easily develop into a life-threatening infection. Sadly, the Peoria nursing home abuse attorneys at Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC have represented many residents who have suffered irreversible harm from a facility-acquired pressure sore.

We publish up-to-date publicly available data involving opened investigations, filed complaints, regulatory violations and safety concerns at assisted-living centers, retirement communities and nursing homes statewide.
