Wandering Off (Elopement) From a Nursing Home

Holding Nursing Homes Accountable for Lax Security

Did your elderly parent get lost after "escaping" from a nursing home or wandering off within the building? Did your loved one suffer injury or assault because of a breach of security or supervision? Did anyone even notice your loved one was missing?

Elder care facilities have a duty to supervise and keep track of patients at all times, to protect them from themselves, from other residents and from dangers such as traffic or hypothermia. Fort Lee attorney Jae E. Lee and the Fishman McIntyre firm are committed to holding nursing homes accountable for preventable injury or trauma.

Attorneys for Nursing Home Wandering Off/Elopement

Some residents with Alzheimer's or dementia accidentally wander off and cannot find their way back. Some residents are known flight risks who need to be monitored. Whatever the circumstances, it can be extremely dangerous when nursing home patients are allowed to roam the hallways, go outdoors alone or wander away from the premises.

In nursing home neglect litigation, we excel at demonstrating the unforgivable security breach, lack of safety protocols, patient neglect and/or understaffing that led to your loved one's wandering off, or elopement. Our goal is to improve the standard of care and hold the nursing home accountable for any trauma or harm such as a falling injury, frostbite, pedestrian accident, assault or a missing persons search.
