As a child, grandchild, or other relative of an aging loved one, we are often confronted with difficult choices of how best to care for our family member. At some point, the physical frailties or the mental and emotional difficulties that are so common among the elderly cause us to seek professional assistance in meeting the needs of those we cherish.

We often turn to skilled nursing homes, assisted living programs, home health care services or other programs that promote their expertise, their skill, and their loving touch - we entrust our loved ones to their care. Many of those institutions serving the elderly meet our expectations in caring for our parents, grandparents or other relatives. Too often however their promises of quality care are empty - we see bed sores, falls, medication errors, failures to attend to those in need, missed diagnoses of critical changes in medical conditions. Not only are these failures to provide quality care a breach of our trust-under the strict and clearcut laws of Ohio to protect elderly patients, they are often violations of protected rights and recognized standards of care.

Ohio has enacted an entire set of laws to protect the elderly in these exact situations.
