Pinewood Place Has Faced Allegations of Negligence Before, Marking an Alarming Pattern of Mistreatment

Because we represent elderly abuse and neglect victims in Goose Creek and throughout South Carolina, we encounter facilities with multiple allegations of mistreatment. When we see these patterns of insufficient care for—or outright abuse of—the elderly, we are ready to take action.

Our team will seek justice for any type of mistreatment your loved one has suffered, including:

Abuse

Elderly residents at Pinewood Place may face physical, psychological, or emotional abuse.

Abuse may include:

• Slapping, punching, or striking your loved one in any other way
• Calling your loved one names
• Intentionally causing harmful emotions like terror or anxiety
• Threatening your loved one
• Pushing your loved one

Any intentional, overt action that harms your loved one may qualify as abuse.

Neglect

Elder neglect is the failure to meet an older adult’s basic needs.

Neglect can include failure to:

• Feed your loved one
• Bathe your loved one
• Help your loved one to the restroom
• Assist your loved one in drinking
• Provide all necessary medications
• Meet any other basic care needs

Neglect can result from understaffing, hiring under-qualified caregivers, or lack of care by assisted living facility staff. Whatever the reason behind neglect is, failure to care properly for your loved one is never tolerable.

Neglect can lead to bedsores, infections, and other adverse health outcomes. An elderly resident who has suffered neglect may also have to do more independently, increasing the risk of choking, falls, and other potentially fatal events.

Exploitation

Predators may see elderly individuals like your loved one as easy targets. If your loved one has control of their finances, has valuables in their possession, or becomes the target of a sexual predator, then they can be a victim of exploitation.

The attorneys at Hughey Law Firm know how to spot signs of elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation. We will work with doctors and other qualified professionals as we review your loved one’s case. If someone has mistreated your loved one, we’ll work relentlessly to hold them accountable.
