The Dickson Firm represents nursing home residents and their families in cases against the owners and the operators of nursing homes throughout the State of Ohio. Nursing Homes are legally required to provide their residents with good care. They are legally required, under state and federal law, to have a sufficient number of properly trained staff to care for their residents. It is illegal for a nursing home to neglect or abuse its residents. There are state laws and federal laws that were passed to protect nursing home residents and to guarantee them certain rights. If someone you love was neglected or abused in a nursing home, there is something you can do.
