Nursing homes must adhere to a plethora of strict, detailed legal requirements. Staying current with the latest standards is key to being compliant in this highly-regulated industry. As a health care consulting and malpractice defense focused firm, our attorneys are well-versed on the nursing home industry and the laws that regulate it. Robert Irving Miller, a former licensed nursing home administrator, brings intimate industry knowledge and experience. With a constant pulse on the significant, new developments in case law, statutes, and regulations that affect nursing homes and their administrators, we are able to help our clients navigate this ever-changing space and effectively defend legal claims.

ASSISTING WITH MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS

We understand that from time to time nursing homes may need to seek guardianship for their residents – perhaps relatives are not available, family members may disagree on a course of treatment, or the current guardian is not acting in the patient’s best interest. Our firm assists our nursing home clients with all aspects of the guardianship process.

EXPERIENCED LITIGATION ATTORNEYS ON YOUR SIDE

Our lawyers build a strong defense by examining the claim, gathering evidence, and employing the experts needed to exonerate nursing homes from allegations of:

  • Medical and nursing malpractice
  • Neglect or maltreatment
  • Physical or sexual abuse
  • Negligent hiring or training
  • Regulatory violations
  • Premises liability
  • General liability
  • Professional Misconduct

REPRESENTATION IN EMPLOYMENT AND CONTRACT TRANSACTIONS

Our services expand beyond regulation and litigation. We also have a breadth of experience providing counsel on a variety of other business-related matters:
  • Facility leases and purchases
  • Equipment leases and purchases
  • Insurance matters
